“Georgia can serve as a natural bridge on the one hand between Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia, and on the other hand to Central and East Asia. The international connectivity routes provide an opportunity for Georgia to become a major node and digital hub for Europe-Asia,” stated Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze during his speech at the World Government Summit.

“According to World Justice Project “Rule of Law Index 2024”, Georgia is ranked 1st in the region of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. In the upper-middle income countries, Georgia is in TOP 7 out of 41 countries. As to the NUMBEO Crime Index 2024, Georgia ranks 8th in Europe and 20th in the world as one of the safest countries globally.

Georgia can serve as a natural bridge on the one hand between Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia, and on the other hand to Central and East Asia. The international connectivity routes provide an opportunity for Georgia to become a major node and digital hub for Europe-Asia. By sharing a border with the EU via the Black Sea, Georgia is the only link to develop data connectivity corridors in the short term, between Europe and the Middle East and South Asia, as well as in the medium-to-long-term, between Europe and Central and East Asia,” he said.
