​The United Kingdom is steadfast in our support for Georgia's territorial integrity and sovereignty. The EU Monitoring Mission in Georgia performs an important role to monitor the implementation of the 2008 Peace Agreements that followed the Georgia-Russia conflict of August 2008 - it is the only international peacekeeping mission tasked with this role. Looking ahead it is important that our future relationship with the EU should include a security relationship that will enable the United Kingdom and the EU to combat the shared threats faced by our citizens, domestically and abroad.
