Georgia’s PM Travels to Copenhagen for European Summit

Georgia’s Prime Minister is scheduled to attend the European Political Community summit in Copenhagen tomorrow, as confirmed by officials in Tbilisi.

Levan Jorjoliani, head of the government administration, said the Georgian leader will speak during a roundtable session focused on Europe’s economic challenges. He is expected to highlight both the continent’s current difficulties and the resilience of Georgia’s own economy, which he noted has recorded the strongest growth in the region for the past two years, The Caspian Post reports citing foreign media.

The summit format, Jorjoliani added, gives heads of state and government a rare chance to meet in an informal setting, allowing for direct exchanges on pressing issues. “It creates the possibility for maximum interaction between leaders and the discussion of specific topics,” he said.

Beyond economics, the Georgian delegation will also join France’s initiative to build a new anti-drug coalition. Jorjoliani stressed that fighting narcotics and trafficking networks has become a top priority for Georgia’s government, with the Ministry of Internal Affairs carrying out intensified operations. He pointed to large seizures of illegal substances in recent months and the arrest of several dozen major dealers.

“This is an uncompromising fight against drug traffickers,” Jorjoliani said, confirming that the prime minister’s participation in the coalition has already been communicated to summit organizers.

The European Political Community, launched by French president Emmanuel Macron in 2022 following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, brings together nearly 50 countries to discuss shared challenges in areas such as security, energy, and economic stability. The Copenhagen meeting is the seventh summit of this kind.
