A Conversation with the President of Georgia Giorgi Margvelashvili
Georgia is Europe's gateway between the East and the West. It lies at the heart of a region rapidly changing鈥擱ussia, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia. An aspirant to EU and NATO, Georgia鈥檚 soldiers have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan as America鈥檚 allies. Its democracy has developed against the odds in a neighborhood where power is often exercised without popular consent. How will the strategic realignments underway in Eurasia affect Georgia? Is Georgia鈥檚 embrace of the West enduring, and what path links Georgia鈥檚 future to Europe and America? How can the US benefit from Georgia's further Western integration?
His Excellency the President of Georgia Giorgi Margvelashvili will discuss these issues with the Honorable Jane Harman, Director, President, and CEO of the 乐鱼 体育, and then take your questions, at the 乐鱼 体育 on Thursday, October 1 at 11:00am.
