The event was attended by various representatives of the society and U.S. Embassy diplomats. Among honorary guests were: military officers of armed forces of the U.S. head of the Richard G. Lugar public health scientific research center Paata Imnadze and the general director of the center of infectious pathology, AIDS and clinical immunology Tengiz Tsertsvadze. Invitees were addressed by welcome speeches by the president of the American Friendship Club Ilia Zukakishvili and acting U.S. deputy ambassador Catherine Schweitzer. The American diplomat thanked the club for celebrating the independence day in Georgia and spoke extensively about strong friendship between the two countries.    

In his speech Ilia Zukakishvili stressed how important 4th of July is for all those countries for which independence, democracy and equality serve as inherent values on the way to personal freedom. He also stressed that the American Friends’ Club possessed excellent opportunities to congratulate Americans for their national holiday on behalf of the Georgian people within the scope of the Independence Day of the U.S. and send the message of strong friendship to them for    many good deeds for Georgia, dedication and constant friendship.

With this particular purpose, company PSP traditionally joined this year’s celebration of the main national holiday of American friends and again became the main partner and key supporter of the event.

The open terrace of Hotel Ambassador was decorated in colors of the American flag and offered a real American environment which evoked numerous positive emotions. Within the scope of the official part, the Georgian singer Ani Tugushi sang the anthems of the U.S. and Georgia live without any accompanying music, which deserved satisfaction of visitors. Immediately after the end of the official part, invited guests congratulated the American nation with its national holiday with wine and blessed Georgian-American friendship.
