Allied Defence Ministers discussed today with their Georgian counterpart Minister Sikharulidze, Georgia's progress in defence reform and its priorities for 2009.
The talks took place in the context of the reaffirmation by NATO Foreign Ministers in December of the process set in train at Bucharest and their decision to develop an Annual National Programme to help advance Georgia's reforms.
Ministers also discussed the aftermath of the conflict last August, including Alliance assistance to Georgia in its recovery efforts and the issue of Russian bases on Georgian territory.
