"Kobakhidze's visit will take place amid a crisis in the Georgian government's relations with European partners and tense relations between Tbilisi and Kyiv," the statement said.

As reported, the Georgian Foreign Ministry confirmed that Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze refused to visit the United States, as the American side demanded that the parliament suspend the consideration of the so-called foreign agents bill.
