Georgia will not delay the process of returning to Ukraine the ambassador who was recalled for consultations after the appointment of Mikheil Saakashvili as chairman of the executive committee of Ukraine's National Reform Council, Georgian Foreign Minister David Zalkaliani has said.

"You know that we have started consultations with the ambassador to Ukraine. Of course, we have to discuss many issues," Georgia Online quoted Zalkaliani as saying.

As for the date for the ambassador's return to Ukraine, according to Zalkaliani, this process will not be delayed.

He also said that the strategic partnership with Ukraine "will not be reconsidered."

"We have many similar problems, such as the occupation of our country's territories, European and Euro-Atlantic integration, common positions within GUAM - this will not be reconsidered," Zalkaliani said.

On May 7, President Volodymyr Zelensky appointed former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili chairman of the executive committee of the National Reform Council.

The Georgian government decided to recall Georgian Ambassador to Ukraine Teimuraz Sharashenidze to Tbilisi for consultations on May 8.

Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia said on May 9 that Georgia did not intend to sever diplomatic relations with Ukraine due to Saakashvili's appointment to a high position in Ukraine.
