Otar Shamugia meets Viktoras Pranckietis, the Chairman of the Committee on Rural Affairs of the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania.

During the meeting with the Delegation of the Committee on Rural Affairs of the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania, the Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture, Mr. Otar Shamugia, discussed issues regarding deepening agricultural cooperation between Georgia and Lithuania. 

The Minister thanked the representatives of the legislative body of Lithuania for supporting Georgia on the path to European integration, emphasizing the importance of close partnership and cooperation between the two nations.

"By the end of last year, our country received the EU candidate status, which was preceded by several reforms. We are pursuing this process even more vigorously to become a fully-fledged member of the European Union. The support of our friends is crucial on this path," Mr. Otar Shamugia said.

According to Mr. Viktoras Pranckietis, Georgia and Lithuania have a similar historical background, and the experience of Lithuania is particularly interesting for Georgia on its road to joining the European Union.

" Becoming a member of the European Union is an ongoing process rather than a one-time achievement. I believe we'll all be part of the large EU family very soon. We are here to support you on your journey to the European Union, listen to you, and share our experience," said Mr. Victoras Pranckietis.

It is worth mentioning that Lithuania is one of the strategic partners for Georgia in the export of agro-food products.
