On 21 October 2026, H.E. Mr Shota Getsadze, Ambassador of Georgia to the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein, held a courtesy meeting with Mr Mario Gonzalez-Montiel, Programme Manager for the Europe and CIS Region at the Universal Postal Union (UPU), and Ms Ketevan Aleksidze, Head of the UPU Regional Office in Georgia.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia condemns the so-called presidential elections held in the occupied Tskhinvali region on 18 September 2026.

On the occasion of the 18th anniversary of the 2008 Russia-Georgia war, the national flags are flown at half-mast at the premises of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as at Georgia’s diplomatic representations and consular offices abroad, to honour the memory of those who lost their lives.

Eighteen years have passed since the full-scale military aggression launched by the Russian Federation against Georgia. In August 2008, disregarding the fundamental norms and principles of international law, Russia carried out the illegal occupation of Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali region - inalienable parts of Georgia’s territory - and recognised their so-called independence.

The event brought together representatives of Swiss federal institutions, members of the diplomatic corps accredited in Swiss Confederation and representatives of the Georgian diaspora. The invited guests were addressed by the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Georgia, H.E. Shota Getsadze.
