The UK is committed to find a peaceful and negotiated end to Georgia's internal conflicts and is an active member of the United Nations Secretary General's Group of Friends (FOSG).

The Ambassador and colleagues at the Embassy work closely with the Georgian Government as well as the Embassies of France, Germany, Russia and the United States. They also pay regular visits to Abkhazia and South Ossetia to promote the search for dialogue. In November 2002, the UK Government appointed Sir Brian Fall as special representative for Georgia, a role subsequently enlarged to include the rest of the South Caucasus. In autumn 2008, two more staff will join the Embassy to work on conflict resolution.  

British NGOs such as Conciliation Resources and International Alert are equally active in conflict prevention and resolution activity. The Embassy supports the work of a number of NGOs through its project funding, as well as supporting projects designed to help improve the lives of those living in the conflict zones.

The Embassy works closely with the British Council, which provides support for the learning of English by all Georgians (including military officers), collections of books information from Britain, bringing together British and Georgian art and artists, access to British education and qualifications; active encouragement of good governance and respect for Human Rights in Georgia.

The Embassy does not have a Commercial Section, but it maintains close relations with British companies in Georgia and the British-Georgian Chamber of Commerce. UK companies participate in the so-called "Project of the Century" - Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan and TransCaspian Gas Pipeline construction projects.
The Bristol-Tbilisi and Newport-Kutaisi twinnig associations are other visible and productive examples of the varied bilateral relationship.

DFID, the British Government's International Development arm, has had a successful relationship with Georgia since 1995. This is now coming to an end, and DFID will close its office in Tbilisi at the end of 2008.
