On October 1, after a face-to-face meeting in Warsaw, the Presidents of Georgia and Poland made joint statements to the media and answered journalists' questions.

The Georgian president noted that this visit comes during a time of transition, not only for Europe but also for Georgia. She spoke of Russia's brutal war against Ukraine, which has lasted for over 950 days, and the continued resilience of the Ukrainian people. She remarked that what Russia had expected to be a brief military campaign had instead revealed the solidarity of Europe and the West with Ukraine, a situation Russia had not anticipated.

The president explained that Ukraine's struggle is not just for its own sovereignty but also for the future of Europe and countries like Georgia, which have already experienced Russian aggression. She made it clear that peace in Europe is only disrupted by Russia, and that Europe, built for peace, has never initiated war against Russia.

The president underscored that Georgia is at a turning point, with upcoming elections on October 26. She described these elections as essentially a referendum, where the Georgian people will choose between a European future and a return to the Russian past. She expressed confidence that, as in the past, the Georgian people would choose an independent and peaceful European future. She also called for moral support from Georgia's European partners and the presence of international observers to ensure that the elections are held in a free and peaceful environment.

The Georgian president expressed her hope that the country would quickly resume its European path, which has currently been paused due to certain measures not taken by the Georgian government, such as the failure to implement necessary reforms. She also expressed optimism that Georgia would be able to take these steps during Poland's EU presidency, starting in January of the following year.

When asked about Georgia's aspirations to join NATO, she reiterated that Euro-Atlantic integration is written into Georgia's Constitution. All state institutions, including the presidency, are working towards achieving this goal. However, she acknowledged that recent decisions, such as failing to reform the Council of Justice and adopting a controversial Russian law, had delayed Georgia's progress toward both NATO and EU membership. Nonetheless, she expressed confidence that the Georgian people are aware of where their future lies: in Europe.

The President of Poland acknowledged the threats faced by both countries due to their proximity to Russia and recalled Russia’s aggression against Georgia in 2008, which led to the occupation of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

He affirmed Poland's support for Georgia's aspirations to join the European Union and emphasized that Georgia needs a government committed to fulfilling the conditions required for EU membership. He also voiced concern over recent political developments in Georgia, particularly adopting the "foreign influence" law, which many perceive as an attempt to limit the role of non-governmental organizations and democracy in the country.

The Polish president concluded by reiterating his hope that the Georgian people will express their will in the upcoming elections and that Georgia will continue on its path toward European integration. He also thanked the Georgian president for participating in the Warsaw Security Forum and expressed his admiration for her efforts in steering Georgia toward a democratic future.
