Description

The press service of the President of Georgia Mikhail Saakashvili released a transcript of the conversation between the Georgian president and Prime Minister of Vanuatu Moana Karkases Kalosilom. During the conversation, it was stated that the Republic of Vanuatu had withdrawn its recognition of the independence of Abkhazia. According to Saakashvili, Vanuatu stands for the territorial integrity of Georgia and does not recognize the independence of Abkhazia. The Georgian President believes that the decision of the Government of Vanuatu is "historic." Supposedly, Vanuatu has become the first country to have withdrawn its recognition of Abkhazia's independence. Vanuatu's decision is unlikely to affect relations between Georgia and Abkhazia. However, it can affect the reputation of the Georgian president, which has been counting for against the background of dramatic loss of popularity. In addition, the "productive dialogue" with Vanuatu will help Mikhail Saakashvili justify, at least a little, the huge spending of funds from the state budget on trips overseas.
