United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke about “fresh opportunities to deepen the bonds of friendship between the American and Georgian people” and to advance “greater security and prosperity” for the U.S. and Georgia in his statement on Georgia’s Independence Day on May 26.
“On behalf of the United States of America, I extend my congratulations to the people of Georgia on your national day,” Secretary Rubio said. “This year offers fresh opportunities to deepen the bonds of friendship between the American and Georgian people and to advance greater security and prosperity for both our nations.”
According to the statement, the U.S. “remains steadfast in its support for Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders.”
“We stand alongside the Georgian people as they pursue lasting security, freedom, and independence. The United States is committed to a partnership in line with Georgia’s aspirations for a secure and prosperous future,” Rubio said.
The statement comes amid largely frozen ties between Washington and Tbilisi since late 2024, but also intensifying contacts, with Tbilisi currently hosting a second U.S. delegation in May, while Marco Rubio is set to visit Armenia on May 26, with no stop planned in Georgia.
