“Today is Europe Day. Today we celebrate the idea that is the foundation of the European Union, the idea that cooperation can overcome war and conflict and create prosperity on the European continent and beyond,” EU Ambassador to Georgia Carl Hartzell said.
In his words, the idea was presented exactly 71 years ago.
Hartzell says the EU was with Georgia in combating the COVID-19 pandemic and provided it with financial support.
“We believe that a strong, independent and prosperous Georgia benefits Georgians, our partnership, the wider region and ultimately also the EU as we treasure our friendship, our common values, and our ever growing cooperation in terms of trade, security, culture, tourism and especially between our citizens. So, let me take this opportunity to thank Georgia and all its citizens for your hospitality and friendship, as we celebrate Europe Day 2021 together,” Carl Hartzell said in his statement.
