Georgia appoints new ambassador to United States

Tamar Taliashvili has been appointed as Georgia's new ambassador to the United States.

Report informs that the speaker of the country's parliament, Shalva Papuashvili, congratulated Tamar Taliashvili on this occasion.

Papuashvili said that the US Presidential Administration's approval of Taliashvili's candidacy creates optimism that relations between the two countries will be restored.
