On November 7th, following the meeting of the CoD Executive Committee, the Permanent Secretariat of the Community of Democracies welcomed H.E. Ambassador ILIA Darchiashvili of the Georgian Embassy to Poland to celebrate Georgia’s recent accession to the CoD Governing Council.

‘ This accession marks an important moment not only for Georgia but for the Community of Democracies. At the Warsaw Governing Council meeting and again at the Extraordinary Governing Council in New York, Georgia declared its commitment to the process of becoming a fully-fledged and mature democracy. The CoD has gained a partner devoted to the ideals of democracy in a region of the world where it has fewer roots’- said Secretary General Thomas E.
