{{Short description|none}} <!-- "none" is preferred when the title is sufficiently descriptive; see [[WP:SDNONE]] --> {{Use dmy dates|date=January 2021}} {{Politics of Georgia (country)}}[[Georgia (country)|Georgia]]'s location, nestled between the [[Black Sea]], [[Russia]], and [[Turkey]], renders it strategically important. It is developing as the gateway from the Black Sea to the [[Caucasus]] and the larger Caspian region, but also serves as a buffer between Russia and Turkey. Georgia has a [[Georgian-Russian relations|long and tumultuous relationship]] with Russia, but it is reaching out to its other neighbours and looking to the West in search of alternatives and opportunities. It signed a partnership and cooperation agreement with the [[European Union]], participates in the [[Partnership for Peace]], and encourages foreign investment. France, Germany, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States all have embassies in [[Tbilisi]]. Georgia in 2004-2008 sought to become a member of [[North Atlantic Treaty Organization|NATO]], but did not succeed in the face of strong Russian opposition.<ref>{{cite journal | first=Andrei P. | last=Tsygankov | title=The Russia-NATO mistrust: Ethnophobia and the double expansion to contain 'the Russian Bear' | journal=Communist and Post-Communist Studies | volume=46 | issue=1 | year=2013 | pages=179–188| doi=10.1016/j.postcomstud.2012.12.015 }}</ref> Georgia is a member of the [[United Nations]], the [[Council of Europe]], and the [[Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe|OSCE]].
