TBILISI (Reuters) -The Georgian government is to close its information centre on NATO and the European Union, Georgian media reported on Wednesday, citing the country's foreign ministry, amid souring ties between Tbilisi and the West.

According to its website, the information centre aims "to engage our population in Georgia’s European and Euro-Atlantic integration processes and to gain their well-informed support".
