The Georgian capital of Tbilisi is getting ready to host two high-profile guests this week – one is the Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Peter Szijjarto and the other – Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin.
Szijjarto will arrive in Georgia on Thursday. While here, he will meet with Georgian President Giorgi Margvelashvili, Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili, several Cabinet Ministers and Parliament Speaker Irakli Kobakhidze.
During the visit, a grant program will be signed between the Hungarian Government and the Georgian Red Cross Organisation, providing financial aid for those affected by a major flash flood in the summer of 2015 in Tbilisi.
Meanwhile, Klimkin will arrive in Georgia on Friday, meeting with top Georgian officials as well as the head of the Georgian Orthodox Church Ilia II.
He will travel to the occupation line as well, dividing the breakaway Tskhinvali region from the rest of Georgia.
Both officials will leave Georgia on Saturday, March 18.
Georgian serviceman Giorgi Tsertsvadze has been released from pretrial detention in Ukraine.
Georgia’s Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili and Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko held a phone conversation last night that discussed the close cooperation of the two nations.
Hungary’s Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto, who was in Tbilisi to attend the Ambassadorial meeting, said Hungary wanted to see the immediate introduction of a visa-free regime between Georgia and the European Union (EU).
Georgia has made "serious sacrifices” on its path to Euro-Atlantic integration and we highly appreciate these achievements, says Hungary’s Defence Minister.
Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto spoke about Georgian-Hungarian cooperation at today’s joint press conference with Georgian Foreign Minister Mikheil Janelidze.
