The Georgian government on Wednesday adopted a 15-year program aimed against poverty. Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze noted that \"the program is so realistic and well-planned that its successful implementation is beyond doubt.\" The program was worked out together with international organizations and donor countries, Shevardnadze pointed out. The program is aimed at reinforcing \" democratic society, ensuring territorial integrity, raising defense capabilities and integrating Georgia into European and Euro-Atlantic structures,\" he said. Development of industry, the energy sector and agriculture were prioritized in the program, he said. Shevardnadze expressed dissatisfaction with some international organizations\' intention to break off ties with Georgia. \"Such threats are perplexing because cooperation has been maintained for ten years, in particular, with the International Monetary Fund,\" he said. The government reported that 52% of Georgians live below the poverty level. The program\'s target is to halve this amount. (Interfax)
