The sides focused on engagement in the South Caucasus region, current developments, and prospects for strengthening cooperation between Georgia and the U.S.
Particular attention was paid to the Middle Corridor and Georgia’s role as a key regional transport and logistics hub.
The U.S. reaffirmed its support for Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, including its non-recognition policy. The Georgian side, in turn, expressed readiness to renew and reset its strategic partnership with the United States.
