Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, exemplary cooperation has been established between Georgia and Ukraine which was determined by common interests, historical aspects and challenges. Despite the successful linkages, there are several key areas where relations can be further strengthened at both academic and governmental levels.
The main objective of the Georgia-Ukraine Ongoing Dialogue is to create an efficient discussion platform with the involvement of the academic and other interested circles of the two countries, where it will be possible to deepen cooperation around areas of common interest, develop unified approaches to the current challenges, strengthen bilateral and multilateral ties and generate new ideas on a wide scale through engagement.
Also, great attention will be paid to the provision of unbiased and fact-based information about the ongoing processes in Georgia and Ukraine.
Within the framework of the dialogue, topical discussions will be held on such issues as the pro-European path of both countries and their integration with the EU, security of the Black Sea, a new architecture of European security, the role of Georgia and Ukraine in European energy security, issues of environmental protection and climate change, economic and trade cooperation. In the context of the dialogue, it will hopefully be possible to hold high-level meetings with the involvement of decision-makers of both countries.
The Georgia-Ukraine Ongoing Dialogue will be ensured by the leading think tanks of Georgia and Ukraine: Geocase and Ukrainian Foreign Policy Association.
