Rice reaffirms U.S. support for Georgia
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has reiterated her countrys firm backing of Georgia in the wake of the conflict in South Ossetia. The U.S. has been unwavering in its support for Georgia since the violence began and her latest comments underlined that position.
Speaking at a news conference in Washington on Wednesday, she said: The United States has made very clear that it is standing by the democratically elected government of Georgia. This is a small neighbour of Russia. It is a country that has made considerable progress in terms of its economy. It is still trying to secure its democratic institutions and we work with Georgia on that.
But if anyone has any doubts about our support for Georgia you only may look at the fact that it is a millennium challenge country which is one of the most important designations the US can make that we believe in the future of that country.
This statement came together with the news that an American cargo plane carrying humanitarian aid has left for Georgia, and that more will follow later by sea.
