The “strategic partnership” between Georgia and Turkey was discussed on Friday in a meeting between Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze and Ali Kaan Orbai, the Turkish Ambassador to the country.
The meeting also discussed prospects for the development of cooperation between the two countries, with the officials highlighting matters of economic relations, including the two states’ “active” cooperation in regional geostrategic projects, the Georgian Government Administration said.
The parties noted the existing regional projects were a “clear example of effective and reliable partnership” between the two countries.
They also discussed the current situation in the wider region and emphasised the importance of peace and stability to ensure “further development and long-term prosperity” of the region.
Turkey's “strong support” for Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity and its non-recognition of the latter’s Russian-occupied regions was also noted by Kobakhidze in the meeting.
