Georgia will be the country connecting Europe with the countries of Central Asia and the South Caucasus, said Levan Davitashvili, Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development.

When evaluating the Black Sea submarine electricity cable project, the Minister said:

“We particularly emphasize the cooperation among the four parties, because the involvement of these 4 countries increases the importance and probability of success of the project, and the success of the project is very important for us, first of all, for the economy and energy security of our country.

Also, we often speak about the fact that Georgia plays a very important role for the European Union as a partner country and not only as a beneficiary country. We can be useful to the European Union in many ways, including as an alternative reliable country connecting with the countries of Central Asia and the South Caucasus, not only in the energy direction, but also information technologies, cargo turnover, etc,” he said.

Georgia, Azerbaijan, Romania, and Hungary signed the Black Sea submarine electricity cable project in Bucharest, Romania, on December 17.
