Tbilisi, Georgia- IHRC Secretary General, Prof.h.c. Rafal Marcin Wasik, visited Georgia where he and a delegation met with the President of the Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia, Ruslan Abashidze, and his deputy, General Anzor Margiani. During the meeting, aspects of humanitarian assistance to civilians from the region and further cooperation between the IHRC and the Government of the Georgian Autonomous Republic were discussed.
The delegation also had the opportunity to meet with the Minister of Internment and Displaced Persons, Mr. David Patsatsia, with whom the broad aspects of further humanitarian supplies to the ministry were discussed, within the framework of a previously signed agreement with the IHRC.
One of the key topics of discussion was the possibility of establishing a permanent Diplomatic Mission of the IHRC Transnational Intergovernmental Organisation in Tbilisi. This mission would support the existing Tbilisi Delegation, which has been a branch of the IHRC from the Czech Republic for three years, in further developing and coordinating humanitarian assistance in the region.
Both meetings were attended by Ambassador at Large Ewelina Pawlowska, Managing Director of the Department of Diplomatic Protocol; and Volodymyr Beno, Commissioner IHRC; who discussed additional aspects to streamline the increase of humanitarian supplies aimed at the significant development of the region within the framework of the own assets that the IHRC is ready to transfer to Georgia for the implementation of social programmes of this Autonomous Republic.
It is worth recalling that to date, the IHRC has delivered free aid worth more than €3,700,000 to this Georgian Republic.
On Tuesday, 16.07, after productive talks and constructive arrangements, all meetings were concluded and the delegation flew back to Poland with optimism, continuing its mission to provide assistance and support the development of the regions affected by crises.
