French Business Confederation (MEDEF) members have been introduced to Georgian business environment and investment opportunities by Georgian officials.
Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili, who welcomed the MEDEF members at the Administration of the Government of Georgia, discussed Georgia’s unique location, strategic partnerships and free trade agreements with the EU, the Commonwealth of Independent States, China and Turkey.
Garibashvili thanked the French delegation for their visit and said that the government of Georgia would “fully support” the French investments.
Minister of Economy Natia Turnava, who attended the meeting, told the MEDEF members that Georgia was an “attractive investment market” for the French companies, as over 350 companies of French origin operated in the country.
The French delegation proceeded to visit the President of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili at Orbeliani Palace, where she presented her views on Georgia’s economic opportunities to the investors.
“It is worth noting that, during the pandemic-related crisis, Georgia succeeded in opening a new university with a EUR 1-billion investment capital,” Zurabishvili told the French delegation.
The MEDEF delegation paid an official visit to Georgia to learn about the business opportunities between Georgia and France, especially in the fields of transportation, engineering, finance and urban development. (Agenda/Business World Magazine)
