“Our strategic priorities reflect Georgia’s commitment to fostering economic growth through infrastructural development, digital transformation, energy diversification and enhanced regional connectivity,” said Mariam Kvrivishvili, Georgian Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development in an interview with Gulf News, popular edition in the UAE.

According to Mariam Kvrivishvili, Georgia is advancing an ambitious development agenda that positions the country as a gateway between Europe and Asia. As she remarked, Infrastructure projects are “at the heart of this strategy.”

“Georgia is implementing significant infrastructure projects across all transport modes, improving intra- and inter-regional connectivity,” says Kvrivishvili. “These include the new Anaklia Deep Sea Port project, the new Tbilisi Airport at Vasiani, the East-West Highway, railway modernisation, the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway line and the development of modern logistics centres.”

She went on to say that partnerships with UAE investors are already helping to transform the landscape. Eagle Hills has committed over $6 billion to two landmark mixed-use projects in Tbilisi and Batumi, while Abu Dhabi Ports Group is co-developing the Tbilisi Dry Port, which became operational in June 2025.

Georgian Economy Minister stressed that energy connectivity is another priority area.

“The Black Sea Submarine Electricity Cable has special importance,” notes Kvrivishvili. “It will increase transit opportunities between the EU and the South Caucasus region, strengthening Georgia’s role in diversifying the EU’s energy mix.”

The minister outlined how key projects and international partnerships are shaping an economy that is more inclusive, resilient and globally competitive.
