    Kiev, 30 June: Ukrainian Foreign Minister Borys Tarasyuk is in Georgia
    on a two-day official visit.

    The deputy head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry's press service,
    Dmytro Svystkov, said at a briefing today that Tarasyuk is to meet
    Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, Prime Minister Zurab Noghaideli
    and Foreign Minister Salome Zourabishvili.

    "The Ukrainian foreign minister's visit will be an important stage
    in preparing Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko's future visit to
    Georgia," Svystkov said.

    He said during the visit the parties would discuss bilateral
    cooperation, including progress in implementing agreements reached
    during previous visits by both countries' top officials, further
    development of the legislative base, cooperation within international
    organizations, cooperation in the field of European and Euro-Atlantic
    integration and the further transformation of GUAM [a regional
    organization comprising four former Soviet states - Georgia, Ukraine,
    Azerbaijan and Moldova] into a regional international organization.

    Special attention will be paid to the problem of settling "frozen
    conflicts" [the Dniester region settlement in Moldova, resolution of
    the Abkhaz conflict in Georgia and the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict
    between Azerbaijan and Armenia]. An interagency memorandum on
    cooperation in the field of European and Euro-Atlantic integration
    is expected to be signed.
