During the 56th Geneva International Discussions held on October 5, the United States delegation led by Senior Advisor for Caucasus Negotiations Ambassador Philip Reeker welcomed dialogue with participants to seek a peaceful resolution to the conflict and pressed Russia to fulfill its obligation and commitments under the 2008 Ceasefire Agreement, including a withdrawal of its forces to pre-conflict positions and unfettered access for the delivery of humanitarian assistance. The U.S. delegation urged participants to use the GID to find solutions to improve the lives of conflict-affected populations, including for the safe and voluntary return of internally displaced persons and refugees. The United States strongly supports Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders.
