ქალბატონო მაია,
გიზიარებთ, გლობალურ ფონდთან მიმოწერას, რომლის მიხედვითაც საქართველოში იგეგმება გერმანელ პარლამენტართა ვიზიტი, კერძოდ 30 მაისი-2 ივლისი პერიოდი. გლობალური ფონდისთვის ძალზედ მნიშვნელოვანი ვიზიტია, რამდენადაც ფონდისთვის გერმანია მოცულობით მეოთხე დამფინანსებელია; მიზანია საქართველოში გაეცნონ გლობალური ფონდის პროგრამების მიმდინარეობას, მათ შორის გეგმავენ ადგილებზე ვიზიტებს. დღის წესრიგის პირველი მონახაზი იხ. ქვემოთ. გლობალური ფონდი გვთხოვს დღის წესრიგთან დაკავშირებით კომენტარს კვირის ბოლომდე, რაზეც ამჟამად ვმუშაობთ.
საქართველო როგორ შეირჩა არ ვიცით, მაგრამ ცხადია, ჩვენთვისაცმნიშვნელოვანია აღნიშნული ვიზიტი, მისი კარგად ჩატარება და ქვეყნის წარმოჩენა.
ამ თემაზე ბატონი ამირანი მოკლედ ესაუბრა მინისტრს და გუშინ სოფო ბელქანიას. სამინისტროში შეხვედრა ამ ეტაპზე ჩანიშნულია 31 მაისისთვის. პეოცესის მიმდინარეობის შესახებ პერიოდულად მოგაწვდით ინფორმაციას.
პატივისცემით,
ირმა

Subject: Visit of German MPs to Georgia
Dear Irma,
I hope all is well in Georgia and you are enjoying the start of spring, as much as we do here in Geneva (finally!).
I am writing to you regarding the planned visit of the German parliamentarians to Georgia, which is starting to crystallise, and to ask for your help with planning the agenda for the mission. The details are as follows:
· As we have been informed, the group is planning to arrive on 30 May mid-afternoon around 4pm and leave Tbilisi around noon/early afternoon on 2 June.
· Below is a rough outline of what has been requested for the visit. Please let us know your thoughts on the plan and if there are any additional elements of the programs that you would recommend to show-case, please feel free to suggest. Also please let us know if there are any partner agencies, including GIZ/KfW, who you think would be good to visit. Please note that the timings below are just indicative so that we have an idea of what is realistic to cover in two days. You are welcome to arrange the order of meetings as per availabilities, including what is visited in Tbilisi and outside. I would be most grateful if you could revert with a proposed agenda by next Friday, 27 April.
· The delegation will consist of up to 10 persons. Please see further details below.
· Friends of Europe will cover the costs of airport transfer and in-country transport, accommodation, translation, and potentially one of the dinners. It would be very helpful if you could provide some recommendations for a hotel (4-star, in the center), transport company, and translator. It would also be appreciated if you could revert with the expected costs for each, as the budget for the trip needs to go through their internal approval system. Your response on this item by tomorrow COB or latest Monday would be very much appreciated.
I cc. Anne-Laure Aubertin, our Resource Mobilisation Officer from the External Relations Department, who is the focal point for this visit, as well as Viktoriya who can provide additional support from our end.
Once we finalise the details for the MPs’ visit, I suggest we also plan the Country Team visit for the Country Dialogue, as we expect to have a very busy period towards the end of May.
Thank you once again for your willingness to host this visit and for all your support in making the necessary arrangements. We look forward to working with you on
Wishing you all the best,
Gyongyi
