The head of the Georgian Government introduced the country’s “favourable” investment environment to his counterpart and emphasised the importance of attracting Arab investments.
One of the main priorities of the Georgian Government is to use its favourable geographical location and business climate to strengthen its transit function. Close cooperation between Georgia and the United Arab Emirates to promote digital connectivity between Europe and Asia through their territories is important”, Garibashvili said.
