The third meeting of foreign ministers of the "Eastern Partnership" will be held in Brussels on July 23. As the Georgian Foreign Ministry said, the delegation will be headed by Georgian Deputy Foreign Minister Tornike Gordadze.

The meeting will discuss issues of cooperation with the EU.

The Eastern Partnership Program is a Polish-Swedish initiative under the EU Neighbourhood Policy aimed at improving EU relations with six former Soviet countries Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, Belarus, Ukraine and Armenia. The programme envisages the allocation of 600 million euro to these countries until 2013 to strengthen state institutions, control borders and help small companies.
