Germany’s Minister of Education and Research Johanna Wanka met a Georgian delegation in Berlin yesterday, led by Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili, where he spoke about Germany’s support for Georgia’s democratic development.
Kvirikashvili briefed the German Minister about the Georgian Government’s Four Point Reform Agenda and intended education reforms, which were part of the overall reform plan.
