Civil.Ge — Georgia said on March 14 it was ready to send a rescue team to Japan, which has suffered the devastating earthquake and tsunami.
“Japan is the country which has always stood beside us both economically and politically,” Nino Kalandadze, the Georgian deputy foreign minister, said.
“The Georgian government has decided to offer Japan to send a rescue team, as well as discussions are underway [within the Georgian government] on financial assistance,” she said.
Reports say one Georgian citizen, who is a student in Tokyo, broke his leg in the earthquake and is undergoing treatment in hospital in Tokyo.
“We have visited him in the hospital; he feels well,” Revaz Beshidze, Georgia’s ambassador to Japan, told Tbilisi-based Maestro TV via phone.
