Interior Ministry hosts diplomats at Joint Operations Centre

Top officials of Georgia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) have hosted foreign diplomats accredited in Georgia and the representatives of international organizations at its Joint Operations Centre - a high-tech, innovative centre for crime prevention and timely crime response.

It is very important for us to meet the diplomats from the countries from where we receive a large number of tourists, so that the citizens of the countries have exact information that Georgia is safe to travel to and that the country’s Interior Ministry spends much to always be at least two steps ahead of any challenge,” Deputy Interior Minister Shalva Khutsishvili said.
