TBILISI. Oct 14 (Interfax-AVN) - Representatives of NATO member nations are considering the plan of individual cooperation between Georgia and NATO at the alliance's headquarters in Brussels on Thursday.
"Approval and subsequent implementation of the plan may provide a basis for Georgia's admission to NATO," Georgian Deputy Defense Minister David Sikharulidze told reporters.
"There are all prerequisites for the plan to be approved by representatives of NATO member nations already by the end of October," he said.
A spokesman for the Georgian Defense Ministry told Interfax that the individual cooperation plan outlines the measures aimed at driving the Georgian Armed Forces closer to NATO standards, as well as the steps to be made by Georgian leaders to strengthen the economy, settle social and humanitarian issues, and boost democratic processes in the Georgian society.
