The Azerbaijani top official paid his second visit to Georgia since 2015, “discussing all aspects of bilateral cooperation”, as well as regional and global security issues on the backdrop of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict at a meeting with Georgian prime minister in the central Georgian city of Mtskheta.
Hailing “unique friendship and cooperation” between the two countries and dubbing the neighbouring state “one of the top strategic partners” for his country, Garibashvili reaffirmed his commitment to mediate for peace in the South Caucasus region and further upgrade the partnership.
Praising Georgia’s role in the region and “strong bonds” between the two countries, the Azerbaijani top official said joint projects and prospects to increase gas exports to Europe had also been discussed at the meeting.
