The Situation in Georgia (Statement by Press Secretary KITAMURA Toshihiro)
December 3, 2024
- Japan has been closely monitoring the developments in Georgia following the parliamentary election held on October 26. In particular, we are increasingly concerned about the situation since November 28, following the announcement by the Georgian government that it would not begin the EU accession process until the end of 2028, in which protesters and the security authorities have clashed, resulting in many arrests and injuries.
- Japan calls on the Georgian government to exercise restraint in order to avoid deterioration of the situation and hopes that it will take constructive measures to gain the understanding of its people and that the situation will be calmed down soon.
