The UK government has decided to suspend ministerial-level dialogue with Tbilisi and cancel negotiations between the defense headquarters of the two countries due to the actions of the Georgian authorities.

Axar.az reports that this was stated by Britain’s ambassador to Georgia, Gareth Ward.

"Due to the actions of the Georgian authorities, we have decided to suspend the annual High-Level Ministerial Dialogue for the first time in ten years. This is the first time this has happened since the dialogue format was established. We have also canceled the planned high-level talks between our defense headquarters and suspended the new cybersecurity program," the ambassador said.
