The National Archives of Georgia has been handed a collection of unique documents featuring the work of Georgia's first diplomats in Germany and Sweden.
The documents dated back to 1918-1921 when the Democratic Republic of Georgia opened its first diplomatic representations abroad.
The materials were kept in the archives of Germany and Sweden’s Foreign Ministries before the Georgian Foreign Ministry asked for the unique documents that "reflected the very important period of independent Georgia".
Georgia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Gigi Gigiadze said the agency would continue collecting all important diplomatic documents from the 1918-1921 time period that were currently kept abroad.
A handful of the earliest preserved Georgian manuscripts have been selected to feature in a UNESCO historical database for their "world significance and outstanding universal value”.
Sweden’s oldest museum is hosting a month-long celebration that pays homage to Georgian culture and the ties between the small Caucasian nation and the Scandinavian country.
President of Georgia Giorgi Margvelashvili has appointed ex-Deputy Foreign Minister Gigi Gigiadze as the country’s new Ambassador to Denmark.
