At today's Cabinet meeting, Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia summarized his recent visit to Azerbaijan, and pointed out that holding his first visit in the rank of Prime Minister to Azerbaijan was no coincidence. According to the Head of Government, the cooperation between the two countries has outgrown bilateral and regional dimensions to acquire significant international context.
"Yesterday, we visited Baku. And it was no coincidence that we decided to hold the first visit to Azerbaijan. As you know, the cooperation between our countries has transcended both bilateral and regional dimensions, and now enjoys significant international context. We all understand that this cooperation must be effective, productive, and based on the interests of our countries. It is extremely important-especially today, in light of the current regional developments-that the two countries conduct effective cooperation to ensure peace, stability, and security," Giorgi Gakharia stated.
According to the Prime Minister, Azerbaijan and Georgia are strong economic partners enjoying mutual trust, and their cooperation in the areas of energy carriers and transport is acquiring international importance.
"In addition, we discussed such important fields of economic cooperation as trade, transport, and bilateral investments, and we also defined particular steps further to deepen this cooperation. As you know, the Georgia-Azerbaijan Commission for Economic Cooperation has not held a meeting in a decade, so the first step will be taken in late November, when the commission will meet again, and that must set the stage, and become an effective tool, for further advancing our relations and enhancing our economic cooperation," Giorgi Gakharia emphasized.
