Georgian embassies to open in United Arab Emirates, Vietnam

Georgia will open embassies in the United Arab Emirates and Vietnam, Georgia’s Foreign Minister David Zalkaliani announced earlier today. 

We annually extend the zones of diplomatic coverage,” David Zalkaliani said. 

Zalkaliani said the government made the decision per the priorities set out under the country’s external policy strategy document that is to be approved shortly.

UAE is one of the most important investors in Georgia, having implemented many investments [in the country]… and Vietnam is one of the most significant countries in South-East Asia with its increasing economic pace,” Foreign Minister Zalkaliani said, outlining the embassies’ goals. 

Zalkaliani stated that Georgia is mainly focused on attracting more and more cargo from Asia and the embassies will serve to facilitate the accomplishment of this aim.
