PM: Europe interested in deepening economic, trade relations with China - strategic partner of Georgia

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili on Thursday told the journalists in Davos that all European states were interested in deepening economic and trade relations with China, noting Georgia should think about its national interests by strengthening ties with China.

In his comments, Garibashvili highlighted “a very successful” relationship with China, including establishing a strategic partnership with the country in July, stressing the “rapid growth” of the Chinese economy would have “a spillover” effect on other regions and the world economy as a whole.

The Head of the Government emphasised the need for rapid development in the country to overcome the difficulties, including poverty and unemployment, and added that attracting direct foreign investments was important for Georgia.
