Kvirikashvili will make his statement at 2pm this afternoon.
Once Kvirikashvili names his new Cabinet, Parliament of Georgia must vote to approve his chosen candidates.
Kvirikashvili, nominated as Prime Minister by the President, and the minister nominees will need the support of at least 76 lawmakers in the 150-seat legislative body to be officially confirmed.
Earlier Kvirikashvili said he did not plan any major ministerial changes, adding law enforcement ministers would retain their posts.
