Introducing Georgia’s successful reforms to the President of Hessen State Parliament Norbert Kartmann, Janelidze spoke of the country’s business and investment opportunities.

He said, the liberal economic policy in the country, free trade agreements with the European Union (EU), China and other leading countries makes Georgia a bridge between Europe and Asia.

This year has been declared as a year celebrating the friendship of Germany and Georgia. It was 25 years ago when Georgia and Germany established their first diplomatic ties, while 200 years ago the very first German people emigrated to Georgia.

Janelidze said Georgia is preparing to be the Guest of Honour at the 2018 Frankfurt Book Fair, which is also an important proof to Georgian-German partnership.
