Exercise Noble Partner 2020, hosted by the nation of Georgia, got underway yesterday with 2,700 troops, including not only Georgia but also contingents from the U.S., the U.K., Poland and France. “Together with our partners, with such exercises and through increasing compatibility, we should achieve Euro-Atlantic integration,” said Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia at the opening ceremony for the exercise. “Everyone should understand this is another clear example of our strategic partner’s support and our common aspirations. We have to thank our partners, first of all, the U.S., France, Great Britain, Poland, since everyone understands that the knowledge that our soldiers will obtain here should be used to establish global peace.”
