Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili introduced the country's business environment to Niclas Mårtensson, the CEO of the Swedish shipping line company Stena Line, in a meeting hosted at the ongoing World Economic Forum in Davos on Tuesday.
At the meeting, the PM promoted Georgia's "strategic location" that he said provided an opportunity to connect Europe, the Caspian Sea region, Central Asia and China, and pointed to Georgia’s “leading positions” in rankings by a number of international analytical organisations.
Following the meeting Garibashvili posted on his Twitter:
