Senior officials from the United States and Georgia met in Tbilisi to review bilateral relations and regional security amid ongoing diplomatic discussions.
Senior Advisor to the U.S. Department of State, Wyatt Toehlke, met with Georgian Foreign Minister Maka Bochorishvili on Monday in Tbilisi, in what both sides described as a discussion focused on bilateral ties and regional security.
According to the Georgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the meeting addressed the current state of U.S.-Georgia relations, cooperation prospects, and developments in the region. The statement emphasized that “Georgia is an important partner of the United States” and reiterated the country’s readiness “to renew the strategic partnership with the United States.”
The Georgian side also highlighted Georgia’s role in maintaining peace and stability in the South Caucasus. Security challenges facing the region and the wider international environment were also part of the discussions, according to the Ministry’s account.
U.S. Ambassador to Georgia Robin Dunnigan attended the meeting alongside Senior Advisor Toehlke. The U.S. Embassy released a separate statement, noting:
“Today, Ambassador Dunnigan and Senior Advisor Toehlke met with Foreign Minister Bochorishvili to discuss U.S.-Georgian relations. The United States continues to review its approach to Georgia to advance American interests. The United States has clearly outlined steps that the Georgian government can take to demonstrate that it is serious about improving its relationship with the United States.”
The meeting comes at a time when U.S.-Georgia relations are under increased attention, amid broader questions about democratic governance and foreign policy orientation in Georgia. While both governments have maintained their strategic partnership, recent tensions — including U.S. concerns over the "foreign influence law” passed by the Georgian Parliament — have added complexity to diplomatic engagements.
No new agreements or policy changes were announced following the meeting. However, both sides emphasized the importance of continued dialogue and cooperation against the backdrop of growing regional instability.
