**Georgia’s Foreign Policy to Remain Firm and Pragmatic**
The government program presented by Prime Minister candidate Irakli Kobakhidze to the Parliament outlines Georgia’s foreign policy goals for the next few years. The country will continue to follow a firm, pragmatic, and results-oriented policy.
**Turbulent International Scene**
According to the government program, the international scene has been marked by unprecedented turbulence since 2020. The Russia-Ukraine war has created an existential threat to both European and global security.
