Chinese Vice President: China ready to increase imports of high-quality Georgian products and further develop trade relations

In recent years, trade between China and Georgia has grown steadily, while the scope of investment cooperation has continued to expand, Vice President of the People’s Republic of China Han Zheng said at a meeting with representatives of the Georgian and Chinese business communities.

According to Han Zheng, at a time when the global political and economic order is undergoing profound and complex changes, the challenges facing national development and international free trade are becoming increasingly significant.

Today, as the global political and economic order undergoes profound and complex changes, countries face growing challenges to their development and to international free trade. Under these circumstances, strengthening cooperation becomes even more important, while also requiring greater foresight and a long-term vision.

In recent years, trade between China and Georgia has grown steadily, while the scope of investment cooperation has continued to expand.

High-quality Georgian agricultural products are gaining an increasingly strong presence in the Chinese market. Likewise, Chinese products, particularly new energy vehicles, are enjoying great popularity among the Georgian population.

The Free Trade Agreement between China and Georgia has played an important role in developing bilateral trade and economic relations. In April of this year, our countries officially signed a Protocol on Upgrading the Free Trade Agreement, marking a qualitative new stage in bilateral trade and economic cooperation.

We are ready to import even more high-quality Georgian products and facilitate the optimization and further development of trade.

We will support strong and competitive Chinese companies in making sustained investments in Georgia and expanding their operations in the local market. We must create a favorable environment for cooperation between businesses from our two countries.

I hope that representatives of the Chinese and Georgian business communities will continue to serve as a bridge between our countries and play an active role in strengthening our friendship,” stated Han Zheng.
