According to Rustavi 2’s TV report, the visit, prepared by Georgia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs in March 2012, was canceled for an unknown reason.

Georgia’s Foreign Ministry and President Zourabichvili’s government have not yet made any comments regarding the information.

Earlier, former Chief of Office Lasha Zhvania, who resigned on April 30, confirmed the visit was planned.

"In March, we held negotiations to confirm the visit of Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili to the United States to be held in the fall - the end of September to the beginning of October," Ms. Zhvania told reporters. .

The information appeared after Georgian President Zourabichvili, in a recent interview in Tbilisi, said that the construction of a US military base in Georgia was impossible, and could be considered a provocation.

According to Zourabichvili, Georgia needs to strengthen relations with Washington, but should not take any steps, which may provoke other countries.

This statement by President Zourabichvili was condemned by the Georgian opposition, threatening to impeach her.
