Georgian Foreign Minister Maka Bochorishvili is participating in the 32nd OSCE Ministerial Council holding from 3rd to 5th December in Vienna.
According to the Georgian Foreign Ministry, Bochorishvili addressed the session by underscoring the importance of the OSCE as a platform where Georgia’s security issues are regularly discussed.
She also held meetings with the OSCE Secretary General, the Representative on Freedom of the Media, and the President of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly.
Following her meeting with the OSCE Secretary General, Bochorishvili emphasised that Georgia maintains a regular and important dialogue within the OSCE, which remains one of the few international formats addressing the consequences of Russia’s occupation of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
Bochorishvili highlighted ongoing concerns related to the situation on the ground, including borderisation, security risks near the occupation lines, humanitarian restrictions, and the broader impact of regional developments.
She stressed that OSCE continues to play a meaningful role through the Geneva International Discussions and monitoring mechanisms.
The minister noted that the conversation focused on the wider security environment in the South Caucasus and Europe, emphasising that stability in Georgia is closely tied to developments in the region.
She reiterated that Russia’s occupation remains the central challenge to Georgia’s security and stability.
“We expressed our concern regarding the occupation,” Bochorishvili said. “We discussed ongoing regional processes, issues related to security and stability, and the OSCE’s role in this process that is taking place in our region.”
While strong political support for Georgia’s sovereignty was echoed across the ministerial sessions, no new OSCE mechanisms were announced.
The discussions reinforced Georgia's message that continued international attention and engagement are essential to prevent escalation and ensure stability along the occupation lines.
