Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili and his Romanian counterpart Nicolae Ciucă on Saturday highlighted the importance of signing the Agreement on Strategic Partnership in the field of Green Energy Development and Transmission between the Governments of Georgia, Azerbaijan, Romania and Hungary, amid the current challenges of European energy security.
At the meeting held as part of his official visit to Bucharest, Garibashvili said the project was “even more important” for strengthening energy security and connectivity in the Black Sea region and noted that Georgia and Romania had been initiators of the Black Sea submarine cable project, which turned into a “large-scale European project”, vowing the country remained committed to the “timely” implementation of the initiative.

The conversation also touched on the importance of further deepening existing sectoral cooperation between the two “strategic partner” countries, including in the fields of trade, economy, defence, and security, as well as education and culture, the Government Administration said.
Romania has been one of the country's leading trade partners for the last few years and Georgia has been ready to “fully utilise” its potential in trade, economy and other directions, Garibashvili noted.
The officials highlighted Romania’s recent decision to provide “significant” financial assistance for strengthening Georgia's defence and resilience, by which Romania “once again confirmed” its “strong” political and practical support to the country. Garibashvili thanked his counterpart for the support of Georgia's sovereignty, territorial integrity and Euro-Atlantic integration.
