<p>The UK is committed to supporting a vibrant civil society in Georgia, which is
an essential attribute of a healthy democracy. I [Minister for Europe] discussed this
and a range of other issues with the Georgian Ambassador on 17 April and 14 May. In
my statement of 14 May, I called on the Georgian Government to withdraw the law on
Transparency of Foreign Influence, and also noted my deep concerns regarding the orchestrated
intimidation of demonstrators in Tbilisi. Our Ambassador in Tbilisi has also consistently
made our concerns clear to the Georgian authorities, most recently to the Prime Minister
on 22 April and President on 4 May.</p>
