Dear Friend, Mr Prime Minister, I am very pleased to visit Georgia. Our two nations share a common vision centred on stability, peace, and people-to-people ties. Such a statement President of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, made at the meeting with Georgia’s Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze.

“Meeting with you once again, following our encounter in Abu Dhabi, reaffirms our commitment to continuing our cooperation. I would also like to take this opportunity to wish you a very happy birthday. I wish you success, a happy life, and good health.

There is a close connection between Georgia and the UAE. This will be further proven by deepening our cooperation and implementing many more projects, particularly in trade, business, economy, industry, and energy sectors, which are priorities for both countries.

I would like to note the growth in trade relations between our countries, which amounts to millions of dollars. This cooperation extends to significant volumes, and there is no doubt that economic cooperation between our two countries will continue, especially in the transport sector. The UAE will facilitate the development of partnerships in accordance with agreements implemented by various investment companies. This strengthens the relationship between Georgia and the UAE. Our countries share a common vision for stability, peace, and people-to-people relations.

Moreover, both countries are committed to deepening cooperation in the cultural sphere and sharing our rich heritage, which forms the foundation for the development of both nations.

I wish to confirm that the UAE intends to strengthen partnerships with the countries of the Caucasus region in general, and to promote stability, peace, and shared interests. Peace remains the cornerstone of economic development and growth.

Once again, I thank you and wish Georgia and the Georgian people stability, progress, and success”, - said Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
