I look forward to the new Ambassador Ms. Robin Dunnigan with optimism. I hope that she will radically change the policies pursued by her predecessor Ms. Kelly Degnan, – chairman of the Georgian Dream Irakli Kobakhidze told reporters.

As Irakli Kobakhidze noted "the former ambassador created serious problems in Georgian-American relations."

“I am optimistic about new Ambassador Ms Robin Dunnigan. I hope she will radically change the policies of her predecessor Kelly Degnan. You know that the former ambassador played a very negative role in the development of Georgian-American relations; unfortunately, her activities were counterproductive. I have very high hope that the new ambassador will radically change this attitude and the Georgian-American relations will deepen even further under the conditions of her ambassadorship. This is my great desire and I look forward to the cooperation with the new ambassador with great interest,” said Irakli Kobakhidze.
