Georgia’s Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, Mariam Kvrivishvili, is in Shanghai, China, on an official working visit.

According to the Ministry of Economy’s press service, high-level bilateral meetings are scheduled as part of the itinerary. The Vice Prime Minister will also attend the official opening ceremony of the China International Import Expo (CIIE).

“Led by Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Mariam Kvrivishvili, we are in Shanghai on a working visit where high-level bilateral meetings will take place with public sector representatives as well as leaders of private corporations.
