According to her, these joint projects today serve as a solid foundation for strengthening regional connectivity and further developing the Middle Corridor.
The minister noted that fully realizing the region's potential requires deepening cooperation, building partnerships based on trust, and developing opportunities for future cooperation.
"Our goal is to build partnerships based on trust and reliability not only during times of crisis but also during periods of stability," the foreign minister added.
Maka Botchorishvili particularly emphasized the importance of the Middle Corridor in terms of developing regional cooperation and economic ties.
"Currently, the concept of the Middle Corridor is being discussed particularly actively. However, this is not a new concept in itself. It reflects a historical reality that has always existed.
