On 14 May 2025, regular consular consultations were held in Tbilisi between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, at the level of heads of the respective consular departments.

The unauthorized flight conducted by a Russian airline on 1 May 2025, to the occupied region of Abkhazia, as well as the so-called agreement signed with the occupation regime concerning the transfer and exploitation of Sokhumi Airport by Russia, constitute a flagrant violation of Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, the Law of Georgia on Occupied Territories, and fundamental principles and norms of international law, including the Charter of the United Nations and the Convention of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), to which both Georgia and the Russian Federation are parties.
