Abkhazia is willing to step up the negotiating process with Georgia on economic issues, but it is not going to discuss its political status, Abkhaz Foreign Minister Sergei Shamba told Interfax on Friday.

Shamba insisted that there have been no Abkhaz-Georgian negotiations in Geneva. "What is being held now is a meeting of the Group of Friends of the UN Secretary General on Georgia, and the Abkhaz and Georgian sides are merely informing the participants in the meeting about their positions," Shamba said.
