As he added, 6 international cargo air routes are already functioning, and with the application of the zero-tariff policy, the export of Chinese machinery and vehicles to Georgia will increase even further, while Georgian wine and mineral waters will be more widely represented in the Shaanxi market.

"Georgia is China’s first strategic partner in the South Caucasus region. Over the past 34 years, both sides have always maintained the principles of mutual respect and mutual understanding, and have always followed the path of mutual benefit. Especially last year, President Xi Jinping and the President of Georgia exchanged congratulatory letters, which defined a new direction of strategic partnership between the two countries.

Last year, the bilateral trade turnover reached 248 million USD, which is a 70% growth. Currently, six international cargo air routes are already functioning between our two sides. In terms of trade, we believe that by better utilizing the zero-tariff policy, we will be able to increase the export of Chinese vehicles, electronics, and mechanical products to Georgia, while Georgian wine and mineral resources will enter the Shaanxi market more widely", - said Zhao Yide.
