Speech by President Donald Tusk addressing Georgian troops committed to the EU operation in the Central African Republic (EUMAM RCA)

Dear soldiers, 

I want to thank you for your service to Europe and to peace and security abroad. Your hard work and sacrifice is appreciated in the European Union. I am personally very proud of you and of what you have done in Central African Republic. Thanks to you, your residence for sacrifice, your courage, your professionalism, your dedication, Georgia is maybe the best example of the international solidarity in the whole world. Thank you very much.

Our military operation in the Central African Republic has created security within a very difficult theatre, protected populations at risk and helped humanitarian aid reach the people that really need it. This is something we have done together on behalf of the global community, based on a UN Security Council mandate and part of wider international efforts.

Georgia's participation, as the second largest contingent in the operation, has been essential to its success.

I welcome your country's decision to stay engaged in these important efforts by providing the Immediate Reaction Team for the EU's Military Advisory Mission in the Central African Republic.

Together, we are achieving something very important in a spirit of both global and European solidarity and cooperation. I commend and thank you for your service. All the best.
