According to the Plenipotentiary, bilateral relations are developing on the basis of treaties and agreements concluded in accordance with international law.

The decision

Recently, a certain Levan Mikeladze Foundation held an annual online conference "Georgia and its Neighborhood", where the US First Deputy Secretary of State Stephen Bigan made a statement that Georgia and the United States of America should redouble their efforts so that the Russian Federation would withdraw the decision on recognition of the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

South Ossetian Foreign Minister Dmitry Medoev, at the request of the "Res" news agency, commented on the statement of the American official, calling it "a broken record."
