Georgia, Tbilisi, Feb.2/ Trend N. Kirtskhalia /
Georgia is effectively carrying out its mission in NATO peacekeeping operations, NATO International Military Staff Lieutenant-General Jürgen Bornemann said this week on his official visit to Georgia.
"I came to Georgia at an interesting time when relations between NATO and the country have started to enter a new phase," Bornemann said.
The general added that his visit will review the status of cooperation between Georgia and the alliance.
"2010 was quite successful in terms of cooperation. There were many events. We are ready to continue this cooperation with Georgia in 2011," he said.
During the visit, Bornemann met with Georgian Chief of Joint Staff Devi Chankotadze.
As the Georgian Defense Ministry told Trend, the sides discussed prospects for further cooperation, ways of effectively carrying out peacekeeping missions and reforms to the Georgian defense system.
Bornemann stressed that a major priority of cooperation is Georgia's involvement in the ISAF operations.
"During my visit, I will meet with senior Georgian officials, and I am confident that cooperation between NATO and Georgia will continue successfully," he said.
Bornemann is also attending a Georgian Defense Ministry conference in Batumi.
