At this time of grief and sorrow, people of Spain can rest assured that Georgia stands shoulder to shoulder with them. I would kindly request you to convey our deepest condolences to the families of those deceased in such tragic circumstances as well as swift recovery of those who were injured. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families and relatives as well as with the Spanish people.
Terrorism is a huge challenge that takes innocent human lives every day and undermines the wellbeing and safety of each person. The fight against terrorism is the principal priority for free and open societies like ours.
It is significantly important that the international community today stands together to put an end to such evil as terrorism. The Barcelona tragedy is yet anoather signal, that we all must take firm action to stop brutality. As the incident serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of life it is extremely important to stand persistent in our pursuit of a better and more compassionate world.
We stand with the Government of the Kingdom of Spain in the fight against terror with all existing instruments available to us.
At the same time, we strongly believe that nothing can impede aspiration of the Spanish people toward freedom, safety and sustainable development”.
