Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili and Ahmed Ali Al Sayegh, the State Minister of the United Arab Emirates for Economy and Trade, on September 13 announced talks on a free trade agreement between the two countries following their meeting in Tbilisi.
The talks are starting this month in a bid to improve the current trade and economic ties, the Government Administration said, with Al Sayegh praising Georgia’s “favourable business environment” and noting a number of projects were being implemented in the country with UAE investments.
“The interest to invest in Georgia from the UAE is increasing”, Al Sayegh said.
Expressing gratitude to UAE authorities for allowing visa-free travel for Georgian citizens, the head of the Georgian Government said the political dialogue between the countries had “strengthened in recent years”, noting “high-level meetings” as an indication. (Agenda/Business World Magazine)
