Martinnen noted the interest in the Finnish education system by professionals of the field in Georgia in the conversation.
As I noticed, many of my colleagues in Georgia are interested in the Finnish education system. I told them we were willing to help. We are ready to provide more information and help our friends strengthen their education [system]," Martinnen said.
As part of his official visit to Georgia, Martinnen and members of the Finland-Georgia Friendship Group visited central Georgia's village of Odzisi, near the administrative boundary separating the Russian-occupied Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) region from the Georgian-controlled territory.
