Nino Tandilashvili meets the Ambassador of Brazil to Georgia Oswaldo Biato Júnior.

During the introductory meeting, the parties focused on obtaining the important instrument for financing -REDD+ developed by the Green Climate Fund (GCF) within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, in which Georgia's support will be essential for Brazil. The conversation touched upon the 37th Board meeting of the Green Climate Fund (GCF), which will be held in Tbilisi.

"The challenges in the forestry sector in Brazil are familiar to Georgia since we had a similar situation in the past years when deforestation and the use of trees for personal purposes were frequent. Thus, we have implemented several legislative amendments and received funding from the Green Climate Fund to change this practice. Moreover, the Government of Georgia is actively adopting effective mechanisms for forest management to prevent illegal cutting of forests", said Mrs. Nino Tandilashvili.
During the meeting, the parties discussed the prospects of deepening cooperation between the two countries in the agricultural area.

According to the First Deputy Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture, Georgia aspires to join the European Union; however, at the same time, it is essential to deepen cooperation with partner countries.

The Ambassador of Brazil to Georgia, Mr. Osvaldo Biato Jr., focused on the importance of cooperation between the two countries in agriculture, including the possibilities of increasing the export and import of agricultural products.
