I am sure we will be able to develop our relations, both at the parliamentary and at other levels”, - said Razumkov.

I am confident that together we will be able to take very effective steps in this direction. I am pleased that today, as part of the official visit, we will sign an agreement on the establishment of a high-level strategic council between Georgia and Ukraine. This is precisely the format and the level of strategic relationship that should unite our states and our citizens”, - concluded Gakharia.
