Georgian PM highlighted importance of maintaining peace for country’s development

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on Wednesday highlighted the importance of maintaining peace for the development of the country.

In his interview with Imedi TV, Kobakhidze noted that peace was a “necessary” condition for a country’s development and economic growth.

He further added that Ukraine’s example “clearly” showed that a country’s development was “impossible” without peace.

“There is no development without peace, it's simply impossible. Ukraine’s example clearly demonstrates this - the economy is destroyed, infrastructure is ruined, and the humanitarian and social situation is dire. A significant part of the population lacks access to basic utilities such as water, electricity, and natural gas - these are basic necessities. Peace is a necessary condition for a country’s development and economic growth. We have very impressive results, which we presented in numbers during the election programme presentation”, Kobakhidze concluded.
