Britain has suspended dialogue with Georgia for the first time in 10 years

The British government has decided to freeze the annual Wardrop Dialogue with Georgia at ministerial level due to the actions of the Georgian authorities. This was announced by Ambassador Gareth Ward. He noted that this is the first time in 10 years. Defense talks and a new cybersecurity program have also been suspended.

“Over the past year, the Georgian government has chosen a different course, and in the first months of my stay in Tbilisi, I had to clearly express our concerns about anti-Western rhetoric,” the diplomat emphasized.

According to him, Tbilisi is moving away from the European course in favor of authoritarianism, adopting contradictory laws and advocating for a ban on opposition parties, while the leaders of the Georgian Dream are promoting conspiracy theories about Western partners undermining Georgia.

The Wardrop Dialogue is the main platform for relations between Georgia and the UK, created in 2014. It includes almost all areas of cooperation: political dialogue, foreign policy, defense and security issues, trade and economic relations, education and culture, relations between peoples.
