Georgia and Armenia have close relations. In August of 2017 Armenia was the country from where the highest number of visitors came to Georgia.

In July, Armenia was among the top five countries who imported the largest number of Georgian peaches.

In June, the Georgian-Armenian Business Forum was held in Yerevan, and hosted more than 150 businessmen and high-ranking officials from both countries.
