A momentous step forward in the partnership between Georgia and the UK took place with the inaugural edition of the annual Georgia-Oxford Forum organised by the Embassy of Georgia to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in collaboration with the Oxford University School of Global and Area Studies (OSGA) and Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation of Georgia. With its multidisciplinary, cross-regional approach, OSGA served as the perfect meeting point for bringing together area experts, government representatives, leading academics, and students from various disciplines to promote and facilitate.
Drawing more than 80 participants, the Forum focused on “Georgia in Europe and the Wider World” and was officially opened by Oxford University’s Head of the Social Sciences Division, Professor Tim Power. The morning panel saw Georgia’s Sophie Katsarava MBE, Ambassador of Georgia to the UK, George Khelashvili, MP, Parliament of Georgia, and Victor Kipiani, Chairman of Geocase reflect on the 30th Anniversary of Georgia-UK Diplomatic Relations, the 9th year of the Wardrop Strategic Dialogue, and the continuing journey for Georgia towards EU and NATO membership with the UK’s Mark Clayton, HM Ambassador to Georgia, and Jonathan Djanogly, MP, Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Georgia.
