Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili thanked US Ambassador to Georgia Ian Kelly yesterday and the Government of the United States for their long-term contribution to the country’s development.
Kvirikashvili said the $140 million compact granted to Georgia by the US Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is one of the best examples of the US support to Georgia.
Per its official webpage, the compact seeks to increase the earning potential of Georgians through improvements in the quality of education in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields, and strategic investments in general education through technical training or advanced degree programs.
