On June 8, after attending events commemorating the 80th anniversary of the landing of Allied troops in Normandy, Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron held a meeting. Based on a statement released by the White House and the Elysee Palace, the presidents also discussed Georgia.
“The United States and France affirm their commitment to standing with the people of Georgia in their Euro-Atlantic aspirations. The Presidents urge the Georgian Dream ruling party to respect the public’s wishes by returning to the Euro-Atlantic path.
The United States and France support the establishment of a fair and lasting peace in the South Caucasus, based on the respect of international law as well as the principles of sovereignty, inviolability of borders and territorial integrity. They support further regional integration in the South Caucasus for the benefit of all the region’s people,” the statement said.
Emmanuel Macron responded to the developments in Georgia even before the final approval of the Russian Law on so-called Foreign Agents. In a statement released with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, he expressed concern over the Georgian government's deviation from the European path.
