The meeting noted the 30th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Georgia and Japan and the growing dynamics of relations in recent years, the press office of the parliament said.
Papuashvili expressed his gratitude for Japan's “strong support” for Georgia's territorial integrity, co-sponsorship of resolutions submitted by Georgia to the United Nations, and non-recognition of the Russian-occupied regions of Georgia.
