In an exclusive interview with CGTN's Zhang Meng, Georgian MP Irakli Mezurnishvili – also the first deputy chairman of the Parliament Committee for Economy – highlighted the impressive progress in China-Georgia relations since the strategic partnership kicked off in July 2023. Over the past five years, bilateral trade surged by 60%, positioning Georgia as an essential transit hub along the Middle Corridor.
The Free Trade Agreement has opened doors for Georgian specialty products like wine, agricultural goods, and minerals to enter the Chinese market, while popular products from the Chinese mainland – including electric vehicles, solar panels, and high-tech equipment – are making waves in Georgia. Looking ahead, Mezurnishvili envisions even broader cooperation in renewable energy, infrastructure development, and logistics, especially as Georgia modernizes its transport networks with key projects like the Anaklia Deep-Sea Port.
The 2023 visa exemption agreement has further paved the way for vibrant cultural, educational, and people-to-people exchanges. This growing momentum is sparking excitement among young professionals, entrepreneurs, and cultural explorers, all eager to take part in a rapidly evolving partnership that feels as dynamic as the latest social media trend. 🚀
From booming trade figures to innovative cross-cultural projects, the future of China-Georgia ties is looking brighter than ever. Stay tuned for more updates on this inspiring journey!
