The Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia, Mariam Kvrivishvili, held a working meeting with He Xiaoqun, the Vice President of China Eastern Airlines, one of China’s largest airlines.

The main topic of the meeting was the expansion of air traffic between the two countries, ongoing joint projects, and the promotion of further growth in tourist flows.

The parties discussed in detail the marketing and organizational activities aimed at increasing the frequency of direct flights between Georgia and China. It was emphasized that direct air traffic plays a crucial role in the development of bilateral economic relations, trade ties, and tourism.

"We had a very fruitful meeting. Within the framework of the meeting, we discussed current joint activities that will further increase the frequency of direct flights between the two countries. We also planned a number of new activities that will strengthen direct flights. Our desire is clear - we want the existing three frequencies per week to increase and soon see daily flights, and shortly after, two flights a day, so that basically every month we have the opportunity to bring even more tourists to our country via direct flights", - said the Minister.

At the end of the meeting, the parties expressed their readiness to continue active cooperation, which will contribute to the maximum growth of the flow of travelers from China and the positioning of Georgia as an attractive tourist destination in the Asian region.
