Providing Georgia with a NATO membership action plan will not be a topic of the future NATO summit in Wales, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said.
Of course, in some way Georgia’s successes on the path towards
integration to NATO will be noted but this will not be a membership
action plan – such a necessity does not exist, Merkel said at a briefing
joint with Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili in Berlin on
Monday.
Georgia advances along the path of integration to the Alliance, and
NATO countries will help Georgia with this in the future, Merkel said.
More intensive ties and stabilizing relations with Russia deserve
more support, while a membership action plan will not be a topic of the
future NATO summit, she said.
Georgia is a good partner and, besides membership action plans, other opportunities to express this exist, Markel said.
