\u201cOn the first day, a gala dinner of the International Olympic Committee was held, attended by the presidents of national Olympic committees and various world leaders. It was a large-scale event, giving us the opportunity to interact. After the initial greetings, Marco Rubio [US Secretary of State] greeted me, followed by JD Vance [US vice-president], with whom I had a short, warm, and sincere conversation,\u201d President of Georgia Mikheil Kavelashvili said on the program Imedi Kvira.<\/p>\n
Kavelashvili noted that the U.S. Vice President spoke warmly about Georgia and even mentioned the Patriarch.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe spoke very warmly about our country, and I was surprised by how much he knew\u2014specifically, that we are a Christian nation with a strong sense of tradition. He even mentioned the Patriarch. He also noted that the Day of Prayer, celebrated on May 17, was established quite recently. When we informed him that ten years ago, on May 17, the Patriarch declared it the Day of Family Purity in Georgia, he was very pleased. It was a sincere and warm interaction, and I believe the public could see that in the photos. When we discuss family values and traditions, especially Christian values, we Georgians take pride in our long Christian history. We also mentioned that we are celebrating 1,700 years of Christianity this year, with major events planned, which delighted him,\u201d Kavelashvili said.<\/p>\n
The President added that he had a brief business conversation with JD Vance, who is informed about Georgia and indicated that relations would be renewed.<\/p>\n
\u201cA short business conversation was held. He confirmed that they are informed about developments in Georgia, and that closer relations will definitely be renewed. He noted that many processes are underway globally, and they are receiving additional information. They will certainly work to renew relations with us,\u201d Kavelashvili said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
