UK suspends security talks with Georgia over Family Values law
The UK froze the security dialogue with Georgia after the adoption of laws banning LGBT propaganda and transparency of foreign influence. British Ambassador Gareth Ward announced the cancellation of the annual Wardrop dialogue, defense talks and a new cyber program. This decision is caused by the "anti-Western course" of the Georgian government.
The British Ambassador to Georgia, Gareth Ward, announced the suspension of the annual Wardrop security dialogue and the cancellation of defense negotiations. London has also decided to freeze a new cybersecurity program. The reason for this decision was a new law adopted in Georgia, which prohibits LGBT propaganda and promotes family values, which, according to the UK, is a manifestation of an "anti-Western course." Another factor was the criticism of Western countries over the law "On Transparency of Foreign Influence", which requires mandatory registration of NGOs with foreign funding.
