Dear Ms. Barkalaia,

I trust everything is well with you.

While I assume you are aware, I wish to inform you that I’m meeting with the Minister Tikaradze at 12:00 today.

I’m not sure if the restructuring of the Ministry has been completed, and understand, given the government change, there will be some delay in the process. However,  I plan to request for the structure to be in place in order to adequately address the integration of refugees/stateless people, which is the Ministry’s mandate, and urge the related government framework to be adopted at the State Commission on Migration Issues (SCMI) and its implementation by the relevant Ministries.

I hope you will not mind if I advocate for your participation in the San Remo International Law Course of October. I hope you had a chance to talk with the Minister; please let me know if I should not raise this issue.

Thank you and best regards,

Yoko

Dear Yoko,

Dear Ms. Barkalaia,

I personally asked the Minister’s assistance to set a meeting with the Minister (when I was in the Ministry last Friday).

May I request you to kindly ask your assistant to follow up? My colleague Ms. Tamar Geguchadze contacted your assistant for her support, but had been told I should personally request you for setting up a meeting with Minister. Ms. Geguchadze copied in this msg can follow up further with your assistant.

Thank you for your kind support.

Regarding your participation in the training event in San Remo, please let me know if you are able to participate and send an online application. I will then follow up with our HQs to advocate your participation.

Best regards,

Yoko
