“I am confident that our strategic partnership will continue to flourish, bringing prosperity and mutual benefits to our great nations,” said Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili at the Official Reception marking the 74th Anniversary of the People’s Republic of China.

According to Irakli Garibashvili, Georgia acknowledges a strong bond with China; Georgia already established “fruitful cooperation, evident across various fields of mutual interest.”

He noted that the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between Georgia and China, which came into force in January 2018, played a pivotal role in fostering greater trade between our nations; China has consistently ranked among Georgia’s top 3 trading partners.

“It is with this understanding, that we have recently issued a decree to introduce visa-free travel for Chinese citizens. This decision reflects our unwavering commitment to strengthening the amicable bonds between our peoples. We hope this initiative will facilitate greater cultural exchange and tourism flows between our countries,” he said.

The PM went on to say that Georgia-China cooperation at the governmental level is booming, with various ministries, agencies, and regions actively engaged in collaborative efforts. “This multifaceted cooperation undoubtedly demonstrates our dedication to achieving common goals,” he stated.
