“Georgia is represented at the International Import Expo in China with the status of a guest of honor. The Chinese market is of strategic importance for us. Participation in this major exhibition offers an opportunity to further expand our presence in the Chinese market. This year, over 40 Georgian companies are participating in the expo.

Prior to the opening, numerous Memoranda and Agreements were signed between Georgia and China. Altogether, these efforts are creating a solid foundation for deepening cooperation between our two countries, as well as opportunities for Georgian companies and products to gain greater visibility in the Chinese market, which, in turn, will contribute to the growth of exports from Georgia and the development of our economy,” stated Mr. David Songulashvili.
