Georgian Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Mariam Kvrivishvili engaged with British Ambassador to Georgia, Gareth Ward, to review the dynamics of economic cooperation.

It was noted during the meeting that over the past two years, the United Kingdom had ranked first in terms of foreign direct investment in the country, which indicated the confidence expressed by British businesses in the Georgian economy and investment environment.

Mariam Kvrivishvili remarked that Georgia intended to further enhance the country’s regional transit hub role by integration into international transportation markets and global supply chains through infrastructure modernization.

The Minister welcomed the fact that the operation of British Airways and EasyJet increased the passenger traffic between Georgia and the UK.

At the meeting, the Georgian side also focused on the mechanisms for enforcing sanctions in maritime transport. The Minister noted that all procedures at Georgian ports fully complied with national and international commitments.

Deputy Ministers of Economy Tamar Ioseliani and Gennady Arveladze attended the meeting.
