President Giorgi Margvelashvili has appointed Davit Rakviashvili as the new Secretary of the National Security Council (NSC).

This position became vacant after Irina Imerlishvili, former secretary of the National Security Council, was nominated by President Margvelashvili as a judge of the Constitutional Court in September.

Davit Rakviashvili was deputy state minister for reintegration in 2008-2010 and was involved in Geneva Discussions; in 2011-2013 he served at the Georgian Embassy to the United States. For years he led the supervisory board of Georgian Institute of Public Affairs (GIPA), where Giorgi Margvelashvili served as the rector.
