Botchorishvili highlighted the importance of having an effective apparatus on the ground in Tbilisi and embassies operating in capitals around the world. She also stressed the need for a more efficient use of existing resources and the creation of a system that would allow the younger generation to enter state service in a competitive environment.

The foreign minister also spoke about the nomination of Tamar Taliashvili for the position of Georgian Ambassador to the United States. Botchorishvili expressed confidence in her abilities, stating that she will be a successful ambassador and make a significant contribution to improving relations between Georgia and the US.
“It is very important when an ambassador represents a country in a specific country,” she noted. “I am sure that she will be a very successful ambassador and will make a significant contribution to the improvement of relations between Georgia and the United States.”
