Irakli Kobakhidze, the Chairman of the Georgian Dream party, has expressed his disappointment over the cancellation of the invitation to the reception of US President Joe Biden. According to Kobakhidze, the invitation was sent only three days ago and then suddenly canceled. He believes that this decision was not a serious one and was made as a “humanitarian act” in favor of the opposition.
The cancellation of the invitation has caused a stir in the political circles of Georgia, with many questioning the reasons behind it. Some have speculated that it was a result of pressure from the opposition parties, who have been critical of the ruling party’s policies.
Kobakhidze has stated that the invitation was sent as a gesture of goodwill towards the opposition, in hopes of fostering a more cooperative relationship between the two sides. However, the sudden cancellation has raised doubts about the sincerity of this gesture.
The reception was supposed to take place during Biden’s visit to Georgia on July 26th, as part of his trip to the region. This would have been a significant event for the country, as it would have been the first time a US President visited Georgia since 2005.
Despite the disappointment, Kobakhidze has stated that the Georgian Dream party remains committed to strengthening the relationship between Georgia and the United States. He also expressed hope that the invitation will be reinstated in the future.
The cancellation of the invitation has sparked a debate about the current state of democracy in Georgia and the role of the opposition in shaping the country’s foreign policy. Many are calling for a more united front in dealing with international relations, rather than using it as a tool for political gain.
As of now, there has been no official statement from the US government regarding the cancellation of the invitation. However, it is clear that this decision has caused a rift in the political landscape of Georgia and has raised questions about the country’s future relationship with the United States.
