Tuvalu: Abkhazia and South Ossetia officially recognized by Tuvalu
Georgia’s two breakaway regions, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, announced, that they had been recognized by Tuvalu - the tiny South Pacific island nation for which the Georgian government pledged USD 12,000 in financial aid last year.
Tuvalu is the fourth smallest country in the world covering just 26 square kilometers with a population of less than 12,000 people.
Both Sokhumi and Tskhinvali reported about establishing diplomatic ties with Tuvalu on September 23 saying that the agreement was signed with Tuvalu’s PM Willy Telavi (PM’s second name is similar to the one of the main town of Kakheti region in eastern Georgia).
