He described the discussion as a follow-up to talks between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze during a recent European Political Community summit.

According to Sybiha, the ministers reviewed a broad bilateral agenda, cooperation within international organisations — including the GUAM — and wider political developments across what he called a “shared values-based space” spanning Europe and the South Caucasus.

“We continue to develop a transparent, pragmatic, and constructive Ukrainian–Georgian dialogue,” he said.
