As a politician, I will say that it is not a weakness, but a strength, when you accept criticism and consider the critical remarks - there was criticism on the foreign agents draft law, and it is good that it has been withdrawn, this is the only right path to me, - German Minister of Foreign Affairs Annalena Baerbock said at the press conference held after the meeting with Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia Ilia Darchiashvili.
According to her, this public criticism emphasizes how much the population wants to join the European Union.
"We have to respect this decision, it is a criticism from your own society, as well as certain instructions from the outside. This is not a weakness, this is a promotion of strengthening on the road leading to the EU. I think all this underlines how much the population of Georgia wants to join the European Union", said Baerbock.
In addition, the Minister noted that Georgia made great progress over the past years.
"I would like to emphasize that Georgia has made great progress over the past years. What is the situation in Georgia?! Russian military units are on the territory of Georgia. That's why I'm going to the administrative border to get convinced of this. We have been observing with great respect the steps of the Georgian Government over the past years and also the clear position of the Georgian Government towards the Russian aggressive war", said Baerbock.
