David Songulashvili: “We fought—and continue to fight—for our independence; this struggle means protecting our national interests; it means the development and economic empowerment.”
Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture, Mr. David Songulashvili, congratulates the population on Independence Day.
May 26 is the most important day for each of us! I congratulate all citizens of our country on this day! On this day, 107 years ago, the Georgian people boldly declared their independence to the ‘’whole world’’. We have fought—and continue to fight—to secure and defend our independence. This struggle is about safeguarding our sovereignty, protecting our national interests, ensuring development, and strengthening our economy.
Georgia is a small country- but rich in culture and ancient traditions. We are proud to be the cradle of winemaking, with over 8,000 years of continuous history in viticulture.
Today, we can confidently say that we are making tangible progress on the path of development, and we will continue to advance. Georgia deserves a rightful and respected place in the global community.
Naturally, today's mood aligns with the occasion. As part of the May 26 celebration events, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture is proud to host guests in three cities: Telavi, Kutaisi, and Akhaltsikhe.
The National Wine Agency is represented in Kutaisi with the concept: "Georgia – The Cradle of Wine."
The Agency of Protected Areas offers visitors various educational and recreational activities at the Rabati Fortress in Akhaltsikhe City.
In Telavi, the Rural Development Agency welcomes citizens to the central square, where guests can explore locally-produced goods by agency beneficiaries and enjoy various cultural and community events.
