We are pleased that this year they are gathering in Tbilisi and take this as a great honor for us. It is more pleasant that they gathered in Tbilisi at such a difficult period. Their recommendations, sharing experience with them are very valuable for me, my colleagues, Georgian economists, for those who represent the liberal school. Noteworthy is that some developed countries are interested in our experience in concrete fields. As we face many problems to be solved the poverty rate is rather high here, the unemployment is still a problem and visit of any of such clever people, opportunity of relations with them is very useful.
