"The Georgian side will spare no effort to increase trade turnover, deepen economic relations and intensify collaboration between businesses of Georgia and the Czech Republic,” Kvirikashvili said.
The Georgian Prime Minister stressed his country had achieved "significant successes” regarding economic integration and political association with the EU thanks to help from its partners including the Czech Republic.
"We are continuing successful implementation of the Association Agreement; we also sucesfully fulfilled our Visa Liberalisation Action Plan and now we are looking forward to granting our citizens a visa-free regime in the near future,” Kvirikashvili said. He believed this would be "well-deserved recognition” of Georgia’s hard work and commitment to its ambitious reform agenda.
