Georgia, Tbilisi, Feb.11 / Trend N. Kirtskhalia /

A Georgian governmental delegation will participate in the work of the NATO Council in Brussels. "Georgian annual program will be finally approved at the NATO Council meeting," - Georgian First Deputy State Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Elena Khoshtaria told journalists.

Georgian delegation included the State Minister for Reintegration Eka Tkeshelashvili and Deputy Foreign Minister Tornike Gordadze.

Work on the National Cooperation Program between Georgia and NATO for 2011 was completed last week.

Under the program, Georgia is committed to continuing reforms in politics, economy, defense and security, as well as to develop the legal and educational fields.

In 2008, the alliance did not provide Georgia with a Membership Action Plan. Afterward, Georgia and NATO began to cooperate on the basis of annual plans.

The draft annual national program for 2011 contains a plan for reforms in the political, economic, legal and educational spheres, as well as in defense and security.

The program, along with the NATO-Georgia Commission, is the main instrument for Georgia to join the alliance.
