To note, the UK is one of the largest foreign direct investors in Georgia, while Georgia was one of the first countries to sign a free trade agreement with the UK after the latter decided to leave the European Union, and the majority of Georgian products are now free from any custom charges.
The agreement of strategic partnership between the UK and Georgia was signed in October of 2019 in London. The document entails partnership in various fields and, most importantly, a free trade regime between the two countries.
