Georgia will cooperate with NATO under a new program. The program's mechanisms will be reflected in annual plans, Georgian Defense Minister Vasil Sikharulidze said at the Tbilisi airport before leaving for Poland.

Sikharulidze will attend a meeting with NATO in the 26+1 format in Krakow.

"This year Georgia will receive a NATO annual action plan for the first time. The plan will be coordinated in Krakow," he said.

Minister said the meeting will focus on other issues related to Georgia-NATO cooperation.

"Problems in Afghanistan where we plan to send our peacekeepers will also be discussed. The number [of peacekeepers] and the date of their deployment will be defined during the consultations," Sikharulidze said.
