Georgian Parliament Vice Speaker: visit to China highly successful, with strong interest in expanding cooperation

Nino Tsilosani, the Vice Speaker of the Georgian Parliament, on Friday described the official visit to China as highly successful, saying that every meeting reflected a strong willingness to deepen bilateral cooperation and resulted in concrete proposals for future collaboration.

Commenting on the visit, Tsilosani said discussions covered a wide range of areas, from political cooperation to visits to high-tech industries.

“China’s development and progress have made it the world’s largest economy in terms of purchasing power. There is therefore much we can learn from the country, while the potential for cooperation is also considerable”, Tsilosani said.

She noted that relations between Georgia and China had been deepening year by year, not only at the governmental level but also through people-to-people exchanges and business ties.

According to Tsilosani, the visa-free travel arrangement had boosted tourist flows and made it easier for businesses to establish contacts and develop cooperation with Chinese companies.

She added that the visit had highlighted opportunities to benefit from the Chinese Government’s policymaking experience and strengthen ties between Georgian businesses and major Chinese corporations.

“We can create opportunities for Georgian companies to cooperate with major Chinese corporations that have achieved significant success globally, through both direct flights and stronger business connections”, she concluded.
