US Deputy Secretary of State: Five Benefits that Georgia will Get from Clean Network Lines Membership
The US Deputy Secretary of US Keith Krach explains that by signing the memorandum on Security of 5G Networks Georgia will receive 5 major benefits.
“Since Georgia aspires for NATO membership, the improved and safer network will be an additional advantage in the decision-making process”, Keith Krach noted. The objective of NATO is to eradicate threats coming from Russia, she added. Another benefit is that Georgia has joined EU green programs and Clean Network Lines membership will accelerate its EU integration. “Consequently, in order to deepen cooperation with NATO, EU, and three seas, it is of crucial importance to join Clean Network Lines”, Keith Krach said. As noted by the Deputy US Secretary of State, Georgia will also acquire additional opportunities to attract new investments. “I confirm this. I have a 30-year experience in establishing and managing companies.
Our network unites such companies as SISCO, HP, Fujitsu, and others. These companies make investments all over the world and naturally, they will give preference to the countries that share their values on security issues. This decision will be a certain signal for the private sectors of the USA and EU that Georgia is an excellent country for making investments. This decision will bring a wave effect. Companies seek places free of corruption and the membership of Clean Network Lines will stimulate them together to make investments in Georgia, she noted. And finally, the good thing is that the USA will help Georgia fulfill obligations taken under Clean Network Lines membership.
"Financial resources will be attainable as part of the US International Development Finance Corporation that also plans to open a regional office in Georgia. We will continue working process in this direction and we believe this process will further stimulate the private sector”, Keith Krach noted. The memorandum with the USA stresses that it is of vital importance to protect communication networks from obstacles and manipulations.
