Georgia, Tbilisi, March 31 /Trend News, N. Kirtskhalia/
Georgia is prepared to send a military contingent to Afghanistan, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said at a press conference with U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Vice Chairman General James Cartwright.
"I have told this to General Cartwright and the U.S. administration earlier," he said, adding that Georgia is ready to contribute to the war on terrorism.
"I have sent a letter to Obama on the issue and we are ready to develop ties in this regard," Saakashvili said.
Georgia has deployed a peacekeeping force in Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001. Nearly 2,000 soldiers were withdrawn from Iraq during the August conflict.
Georgia has said it is ready to send 300 soldiers to Afghanistan.
