Georgia–Slovenia relations

Their relations have been highly represented with a close diplomatic partnership, with Slovenia being one of the staunch supporters of Georgia's territorial integrity and pro-Western path.

In 2008, Prime Minister Janez Janša of Slovenia stated following a meeting with his Czech and Latvian counterparts in the aftermath of the Russo-Georgian War,[2] We are united on the need to ensure peace, stability, territorial integrity in Georgia and the broader region and to give the region a European perspective.Slovenia was one of the several nations to call on Russia to follow its ceasefire obligations during a 2015 Council of Europe meeting and to withdraw its military troops from Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

[3] That same year, Slovenia became the 21st member state of the European Union to ratify in a 69–3 vote of its National Assembly the EU-Georgia Association Agreement.

[4] Slovenia has consistently voted in favor of the Georgia-sponsored United Nations resolution calling for the return of internally displaced persons to Abkhazia and South Ossetia since 2008.

While Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili held several meetings with the Slovenian Foreign Affairs Minister, President Giorgi Margvelashvili became the first Georgian head of state to pay an official visit to Slovenia in July 2016,[6] during which bilateral agreements were signed on economic cooperation and visa liberalization and a "Bench of Friendship" was inaugurated on Ljubljana's Tbilisi Street.
