Dear Tamar,

Hope this e-mail finds you well!

First of all, I would hereby like to inform you and all respective colleagues with regard to Estonian humanitarian support to the
Georgian Government. I have enclosed an official letter signed by Mr. Andres Rundu, the Undersecretary for Economic and Development Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Estonia.

Secondly, the exact date and time of the delivery is not known yet, but according to the logistics company the shipment will be delivered
to Georgia via air cargo during this week. I will inform you and all colleagues ASAP. With this in mind, I have two kind requests for further consideration:

(a)
Customs procedures: our shipment is marked accordingly and it includes all necessary accompanying documents. May I ask you to facilitate
this information to customs authorities in order to ensure smooth delivery to the respective beneficiaries.

(b)
Logistics: as far as I understood the Ministry of Internally Displaced Persons from the Occupied Territories, Labour, Health and
Social Affairs of Georgia will organize local transport from the airport to their warehouse. What concerns the shipment for the United Water Supply Company of Georgia, I will coordinate with Ms. Ana Onashvili.

Thirdly, we would like to organize a joint visibility event together with the Donor Coordination Unit in which the Ambassador of
the Republic of Estonia, Ms. Kai Kaarelson, would hand over the Estonian humanitarian aid. Perhaps we can organize a short presentation/speech part, some video footage of the shipment and interviews for media. However, we are open for your suggestions and
preferences.

In the meantime, I wish you and your team health and much strength in managing those difficult tasks arisen with COVID-19.

Should you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me or Ms. Nino Karanadze ([email-masked]).

Kind regards,

Margus Gering
