Tamar Taliashvili, a former Georgian Dream lawmaker who has served as Georgia’s permanent representative to the Council of Europe, has been named as Georgia’s next ambassador to the United States.

Taliashvili is set to succeed Davit Zalkaliani, who quit his post in December 2025, immediately after the U.S. suspended its strategic partnership with Georgia. The ambassadorial post has remained vacant for the past seven months.

Georgian Dream Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has issued a relevant decree that the GD-elected president, Mikheil Kavelashvili, will sign. Tamar Taliashvili will assume her role on July 10.
