SOME THOUGHTS ON DEEPENING GEORGIAN ECONOMIC DIPLOMACY P. 5 The Georgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a special guide book for the diplomats working on eco- nomic diplomacy. The guide book summarizes the pur- pose of Georgian economic diplomacy that is tailored to promote Georgian investment capabilities and the envi- ronment on an international level, attract foreign capital and technical support, involve Georgia in international projects, implement regional and international transport and energy projects, and establish preferential export conditions for Georgian goods on diversified markets. STOLTENBERG SAYS RUSSIA TRYING TO DIVIDE NATO P. 2 Furthermore, he made clear that the Kremlin’s aim to divide NATO and its alliance and intimidate neighbors is not successful and effective since NATO is respond- ing in a very unified way. Earlier in February, NATO approved expanding its military presence near Russia’s borders. The military-political group of the twenty-eight states of the Euro-Atlantic Alliance has decided to pro- vide a serious response to the provocative challenges of a modern world that is changing, the challenges coming from outside the Bloc’s eastern and southern borders. 2 MARCH 14, 2016 WWW.OBSERVER.COM.GE POLITICS STOLTENBERG SAYS RUSSIA TRYING TO DIVIDE NATO GURAM PTSKIALADZE NATO Secretary General Jens Euro-Atlantic Alliance has de- Stoltenberg stated that Russia cided to provide a serious re- has made numerous attempts to sponse to the provocative chal- intimidate its neighbors and split lenges of a modern world that is NATO. changing, the challenges coming In a live interview with CNN, from outside the Bloc’s eastern Stoltenberg made an announce- and southern borders.

Georgia confirmó de esta manera su condición de mundialista y su puesto en el ranquing mundial. España, por su parte, no aprovechó las opciones de las que dispuso pese a que en los primeros 25 minutos de partido jugó en campo contrario. A partir del segundo ensayo local (12-0 m.25) Georgia encontró la vía para hacer daño a la defensa española que no conseguía frenar sus acometidas en primera instancia. En la segunda mitad la tónica del encuentro fue la misma y los Lelos se fueron hasta los 60 puntos.

  • U20 Trophy : Ce Qu'il
    U20 Trophy : ce qu'il s'est passé jusque- là… U20 Trophy : ce qu'il s'est passé jusque-là… U20 TROPHY : CE QU’IL S’EST PASSÉ JUSQUE-LÀ… Suite à l'annulation de l'édition 2020 du World Rugby U20 Trophy qui devait se dérouler en Espagne, retour sur les 12 précédentes éditions. La composition des groupes pour la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2019 souligne bien l'importance de l'étape des moins de 20 ans, que ce soit en Championnat du Monde qu'en Trophy. On a compté 218 joueurs au Japon qui étaient passés par le Championnat du Monde des U20, plus 83 autres issus sur World Rugby U20 Trophy, le championnat mondial équivalent pour les nations du tier 2. Les Géorgiens Otari Giorgadze, Beka Gorgadze, Giorgi Kveseladze et Giorgi Melikidze par exemple étaient membres des Junior Lelos qui avaient soulevé le U20 Trophy en 2015 et Lasha Khmaladze partage le record du joueur le plus capé avec l'Uruguayen Diego Magno (82 sélections). Le U20 Trophy a produit quelques moments d'exception pour les joueurs dont la fameuse finale de l'édition 2019 entre le Japon et le Portugal. Une rencontre dont les conditions climatiques n'avaient rien à voir avec la finale de l'année 2017 entre ces deux équipes à Montevideo. Mais le Japon est une nouvelle fois sorti en tête de son duel pour s'assurer une promotion en Championnat du Monde des Moins de 20 ans, lui aussi annulé cette année. Dans les dix premières minutes, le Japon menait déjà 14-0, mais le Portugal a montré une forte résilience à l'Estadio Martins Pereira.
