The EU Ambassador expressed hope that EU and Georgia would work together for strengthening of economy and creation of more attractive environment for investors.

“For me, the Association Agreement is like a recipe book that we took home six years ago and have been making food together ever since. Some of the dishes we made together turned out to be really tasty, such as visa liberalization or Erasmus + student exchange programs, which are enjoyed by many people. Other dishes are more like vegetables, you don’t expect much to taste it. However, you end up with realizing that they are essential for health. I expect to cook together next year as well,” EU Ambassador said.
