Statement by Inal Ardzinba, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia in connection with the Israeli missile aggression against the Syrian capital of Damascus, which occurred on January 20, 2024:
Recently, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia has carried out work to develop new approaches to interaction with international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) and UN Agencies operating in the Republic of Abkhazia. The need for this approach is dictated by non-transparent activities and attempts to misinform the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia which is confirmed by contradictions in the information in the submitted questionnaires and the progress of the practical implementation of projects.
On August 24, 2023, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia Iraklii Tuzhba held a working meeting with members of the public involved in organizing events dedicated to the International Day of the Disappeared.
Today, the international security system is in a state of considerable tension. We note a significant aggravation of the situation between the Russian Federation and the collective West. We consider many statements made in the media as the result of an intensifying geopolitical struggle.
The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Abkhazia in his address stressed that August 26 marks the 15th anniversary of the recognition of the state sovereignty of the Republic of Abkhazia by the Russian Federation.
Commentary of the Head of the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Abkhazia Lasha Avidzba:
As part of monitoring of the implementation of projects and programs of international non-governmental organizations and UN Agencies, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia requested a meeting with the head of the office of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Abkhazia. In response to this request, a letter was received with "a proposal to consider alternative forms of providing of the necessary information, rather than a meeting at the political level."
