We attach great importance to both the political and economic aspects of this relationship and will therefore do everything possible to further strengthen the Georgian-Chinese partnership, the strategic partnership, and our relations as a whole”, he noted.

“We also had a meeting with the Mayor of Shanghai. This year, an agreement was signed on the twinning of Shanghai and Tbilisi, and it is important to deepen the partnership between the two cities. We also discussed the development of relations between our countries in this context. Overall, our visit is progressing very productively, and we are confident that it will yield concrete, tangible results in the future”, Kobakhidze concluded.
