Georgia is carrying out a huge infrastructural modernisation project – the East-West Highway and Anaklia Port, which is very impressive to me. The Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway should also be highlighted”, Hololei said after meeting with Georgian Minister of Economy Dimitri Kumsishvili today.
During the meeting, Hololei and Kumsishvili also spoke about the assistance EU can offer Georgia to develop its transport infrastructure.
Hololei believes that Georgia, as reliable partner will play important role in logistical and transit relations between Europe and Asia.
Georgia has become part of the Lapis Lazuli Corridor, a transit, trade and transport route that connects Europe and Asia by road, rail and sea thanks to a long-awaited new international trade and transport corridor deal.
