Georgia will seek an invitation to join NATO at a summit of alliance leaders in Wales this week, President Georgy Margvelashvili announced on Wednesday, reports GHN based on RT.
"We will shoot for an invitation for NATO membership. But we understand that... decisions are made in a much more complicated way," Margvelashvili said in a speech at the Chatham House think-tank. NATO signaled earlier this year it would stop short of approving a formal step to membership for Georgia at the summit. The alliance was ready in principle to a "substantive package" of cooperation with Georgia that would help it move closer to the alliance.
