The issues of expanding the relationship between the Ministries of Justice of Georgia and Estonia and the European integration of Georgia were discussed today by the ministers of justice of the two countries at a meeting held in Dublin.

Rati Bregadze is in Ireland to participate in the ministerial meetings of the member states of the Council of Europe.

Rati Bregadze spoke to Lea Danilson-Järg about further deepening of the partnership between the two countries' ministries of justice and the signing of a memorandum. For this purpose, he invited his Estonian counterpart to Tbilisi. According to Rati Bregadze, the document will create a solid basis for close cooperation in the field of justice, rule of law and human rights and will support the immediate implementation of new initiatives.

At the meeting, Rati Bregadze thanked Lea Danilson-Järg for the help provided by Estonia to Georgia on the path of integration with the European Union and expressed confidence that our country will continue to have strong support from Estonia in the process of obtaining the status of a candidate country for the European Union.

"We had an interesting dialogue with the Estonian colleague about the current relations and specific perspectives for future cooperation. Estonia is a friendly and supportive state of Georgia. Accordingly, we express our hope that joint efforts aimed at further strengthening of legal cooperation will definitely bring success on the path of European integration of Georgia", said Rati Bregadze after the meeting.

The Minister of Justice of Estonia emphasized the "amazing progress" that Georgia has achieved on the path to European integration:

"Georgia has made great progress in the European integration process. It really deserves to become part of Europe, the European Union, and I really hope that it will happen in the near future, because the progress is really amazing.”
