“Close cooperation is crucial for jointly protecting the national interests of our countries,” said Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze at the 14th session of the Georgia-Armenia joint Intergovernmental Commission for Economic Cooperation.

Kobakhidze emphasized the strong historical foundation of relations, partnership, and friendship between Georgia and Armenia.

“It is an honour to co-chair this session for the first time. The fact that this commission is meeting for the fourteenth time underscores the close cooperation between our countries. I had a productive bilateral meeting with the Armenian Prime Minister, where we discussed key issues concerning our nations, regional dynamics, and global developments.

Regular high-level dialogue and close collaboration in various fields reflect our exceptionally successful partnership, yielding tangible results. Our special relationship is not just a matter of geographic proximity but is built on a deep-rooted friendship spanning thousands of years. This historic bond is also reflected in governmental relations.

The signing of the Declaration of Strategic Partnership marks a new phase in our cooperation, strengthening both political and economic ties. I am confident that today’s commission meeting will help further enhance existing formats of cooperation, deepen our multidimensional partnership, and explore new opportunities,” Kobakhidze stated.
