Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has congratulated Mikheil Kavelashvili on his election as President of Georgia.
“Armenia looks forward to strengthening our strategic partnership and advancing cooperation across all levels. Wishing him every success in this vital role!” PM Pashinyan said in a post on X.
Georgian lawmakers elected Mikheil Kavelashvili as the country’s new president on Saturday.
Mikheil Kavelashvili, now 53, is a former MP from the ruling Georgian Dream party and was the only candidate for the job.
On Saturday, 224 out of 225 members of Georgia’s electoral college voted for him.
The four main opposition groups rejected Kavelashvili and boycotted parliament, insisting that the elections held in October were rigged.
