/ world today news/ Georgia is ready to deepen its traditional friendship with China and strengthen cooperation within the framework of “One Belt, One Road”, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said in an interview with the China Media Group.
“We believe that the initiatives of Chinese leader Xi Jinping – “One Belt, One Road”, for global development and for global security are beneficial for the peace, progress, modernization and prosperity of the world. Georgia is a potential transport, energy and aviation hub under the Belt and Road Initiative. Our country hopes to build a new international airport that will provide cargo terminals and other services to companies from all over the world, including China. In my opinion, this is also part of the “One Belt, One Road” initiative,” Garibashvili said.
“Georgia was the first Central Asian country to sign a free trade agreement with China during my tenure. Thanks to this, our bilateral trade has increased 400 times”, the Prime Minister also emphasized.
