The Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture, David Songulashvili, together with the Georgian government delegation, is on an official visit to the People’s Republic of China. The delegation is headed by Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze.
During the visit, David Songulashvili will sign memorandums of cooperation between the two countries, which cover the fields of agriculture and environmental protection. The memorandums are meant to share experience and set priorities for collaboration.
“Cooperation and creation of new opportunities between the two countries are very important. The memorandum on environmental protection takes into account issues related to waste management, biodiversity, and air quality, as well as sharing experiences with ecotourism,” David Songhulashvili said.
As the Minister noted, taking into account a number of directions, cooperation between ministries will deepen even further.
“It is particularly noteworthy to sign a memorandum that provides the possibility of developing chicken export in Georgia.” This is China’s recognition of quality and reliability. Such opportunities enable our country to develop agriculture even more, to increase agro-food production even more, and to strengthen the country’s economy,” David Songhulashvili said.
The Georgian government delegation is in the People’s Republic of China, at the invitation of Prime Minister Li Qian of the Council of State. The Members of the delegation will participate in the opening ceremony of the International Import Exhibition of China, in which Georgia is participating as a guest of honor this year.
