Georgian Foreign Minister Ilia Darchiashvili on Tuesday said the country’s Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili was set to hold “important” bilateral meetings, both discussing politics with the world leaders and economics with the heads of large international companies at the ongoing World Economic Forum in Davos.
Darchiashvili, as part of the Georgian delegation led by the PM, noted the latter would also meet with the host country of the Forum, Switzerland’s President Alain Berset, the Government Administration said.
The aim of the meetings with the international companies is to “better familiarise” them with Georgia’s economic potential and its investment environment, which will enable them to “properly” assess the country’s potential and “take effective steps” to invest in the country, the Georgian official pointed out.
Earlier today the Head of the Government met with Jay Collins, an investment banking company Citigroup’s Vice Chairman and Niclas Mårtensson, the CEO of the Swedish shipping line company Stena Line, as well as with Hani Weiss, the CEO of Majid Al Futtaim, a Dubai-based holding company for chains of grocery retail and hypermarkets and Mansoor Bin Ebrahim Al-Mahmoud, the CEO of the Qatar Investment Authority.
