Georgian opposition leaders Levan Gatšetšiladze, Salome Zurabišvili, David Usupašvili and Kakha Kukava are in Estonia on a visit from 10-12 March. The opposition leaders are here within the framework of the Open Estonia Foundation, which the Foreign Ministry supported with 43,420 kroons from its development co-operation budget.
“A strong opposition is a requirement for the free and balanced development of a society,” noted Foreign Minister Urmas Paet. “For the quick development of a transitional society, it is necessary to co-operate with all parties,” he added.
The goal of the visit is to offer the key figures in Georgia’s opposition party the chance to get acquainted with the structure of Estonia’s state institutions and to meet the President of the Republic, members of the Riigikogu, high state officials, journalists, and representatives from citizens’ associations. The meetings will give our guests an overview of the work of Estonia’s state institutions, media, and citizens’ associations, as well as the necessary role they play in the development of a democratic state.
The visit will enliven the communication between all Estonian and Georgian political powers.
Georgia is one of Estonia’s primary development co-operation partners, along with Afghanistan, Moldova, and Ukraine.
