UK suspends security dialogue with Georgia over democratic concerns and anti-Western rhetoric.

UK Ambassador Gareth Ward noted that the suspension follows the Georgian government's passage of a foreign agents law and the ruling party's plans to ban opposition parties. The UK hopes for a return to a pro-Euro-Atlantic stance in Georgia, enabling a revival of trust and cooperation.
