President Margvelashvili
and NATO Secretary
General
Rasmussen
met Wednesday to discuss plans for future Georgian
integration into NATO. Although it was agreed in June

extended to Georgia at the September Wales summit,
Rasmussen stated that NATO would continue to offer
a substantial package that will bring Georgia closer to
NATO, including the establishment of a defense capacity
initiative and a training facility.
