Also, throughout these years, we have been doing everything to make the maximum contribution to strengthening peace in our region, in the wider region. We believe that we are a reliable partner for our neighboring countries. When it comes to, among other things, economic ties, transit, etc., Georgia has always played the role of such a reliable partner for our friendly countries.

We are glad that in the political sense we are connected by a strategic partnership, both with Azerbaijan and Armenia. Of course, we are focused on developing this cooperation as much as possible.

Also, Central Asia is a special priority for us. We think that in this regard there is even more potential for developing cooperation, and I would like to emphasize that Georgia is interesting for all countries in terms of connectivity, also in terms of the fact that we have very good trade relations. Relations with various countries around the world. We have free trade agreements with the EU, EFTA countries, as well as with the CIS countries, Turkey, China, the United Arab Emirates.
