Vice Speaker Tsilosani: Our visit to China was a great success; every meeting showed strong appetite for cooperation and yielded concrete plans

“China’s development and progress make it the world’s largest economy in terms of purchasing power parity, leaving Georgia with both much to learn and vast scope for cooperation,” parliamentary majority MP Nino Tsilosani has said.

According to Tsilosani, Georgia can draw on and apply smart policy decisions made by the Chinese authorities when shaping its own policies.

“From political cooperation to visits to high-tech industries, our trip was a great success. Every meeting underscored a strong willingness to work together and produced concrete plans. China’s development and progress position it as the number-one economy by purchasing power. Consequently, we have much to learn, and there is immense potential for partnership.

Each year, relations between Georgia and China deepen further: at the intergovernmental level, in people-to-people exchanges, and across the business sector. Scrapping the visa regime has boosted tourist arrivals and made it far easier for businesses to engage and cooperate with Chinese companies.

Our visit to China demonstrated that when formulating policy, we can benefit from the smart decisions taken by the Chinese government, and enable Georgian businesses, through direct flights as well as stronger institutional ties, to partner with Chinese giants that have achieved major global success,” Tsilosani said.
