I am interested in translating the friendly cooperation between us now, into a real deal - Irakli Garibashvili

Prime Ministers of Georgia and Armenia chaired a meeting of the Inter-Governmental Economic Cooperation Commission at the Government Administration today.

Meeting was launched by Irakli Garibashvili and Nikol Pashinian. The Head of Government of Georgia thanked his Armenian colleague for the visit to Georgia and focused on the close cooperation between the two countries.

“Let me greet and welcome you the Prime Minister and esteemed delegation members! Dear guests, it is my great honour to host you in Georgia.

I greet my friend - Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian - in Tbilisi! This is your second visit to Georgia within this capacity and I am thrilled that I have paid two Official Visits to Yerevan myself. Let me note with pleasure and satisfaction that it truly demonstrates a close relationship, cooperation and kind attitude between us and I wish to thank you for this approach and mindset.

I wish to also thank you for the Inter-Governmental Economic Cooperation Commission, which is held today at our - Prime Ministerial - level with our initiative and agreement. I also thank you for resuming the operation of this Commission with your personal engagement, of course. It had not been held for years and I wish to say that we are interested in converting the very close, friendly cooperation between us into real work, of course. We should closely develop our trade and economic relations, discuss our regional projects, infrastructure and other initiatives that will be mutually interesting for both countries. That is why, we have gathered today and I wish to also say that our relationship has peaked indeed.

It needs to be said with pride and pleasure that such a relationship has not existed between our countries. Of course, Armenia and Georgia always had very close and friendly relations, but it needs to be said that no misunderstanding exists between our governments and countries, great merits to us. We truly have ideal relations.

We are interested in having peace and stability in the region. Georgia has always been motivated to play one of the vital roles in this process and that is why I voiced the Peaceful Neighbourhood Initiative. I wish to confirm Mr. Prime Minister that we always stand ready to contribute and participate in advancing the pan-regional peace and stability”, - said Irakli Garibashvili.
