Foreign Secretary Statement: Situation in Georgia [1]

[]

Date: 2024-12

Foreign Secretary David Lammy said:

The shocking scenes of violence towards protestors and journalists by the Georgian authorities are unacceptable and must stop.

These actions tarnish Georgia’s international standing and fly in the face of Georgia’s constitutional commitment to a European future.

In light of ongoing events, the UK will immediately suspend all programme support to the Georgian government, restrict defence cooperation, and limit engagement with representatives of Georgian Dream government until there is a halt to this move away from European democratic norms and freedoms.

The UK will continue to stand by the people of Georgia in supporting their right to choose their country’s future.
