The U.S. is working with the Georgian government to improve Georgia’s defense capabilities, John Bass, the U.S. ambassador in Tbilisi, said on December 3.

“The United States remains firmly committed to Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. We enjoy a strong defense relationship, defense cooperation, and we’re currently working closely with the Ministry of Defense and other Ministries in Georgia to improve Georgia’s ability to defend itself,” he told journalists at a ceremony of transfer of 74 off-road vehicles to the Georgian Interior Ministry.
