He noted that Georgia is pursuing a policy of peace and has demonstrated this through its actions.

“This is of fundamental importance not only for our country, but also for the security of the entire region,” Kavelashvili added.

According to the President, taking into account the current international situation, Georgia can become a key country for the implementation of internationally significant projects:

“We can promote the economic integration of Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, strengthen the South Caucasus’ status as a regional hub, and further deepen our ties with partner countries.
