Pashinyan announces high level of Armenian-Georgian relations

ArmInfo. Interstate relations between Armenia and Georgia have reached an impressive level, especially in terms of trade and economic ties. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this in the parliament, speaking about the results of the  recent regular meeting of the Armenian-Georgian intergovernmental  commission.

According to Pashinyan, the fact that the prime ministers of both  countries act as co-chairs of the intergovernmental commission speaks  of the high level of ties between the states. According to Pashinyan,  the trade turnover between Armenia and Georgia is approaching $1  billion, a goal set by the leaders of the two countries back in 2019.   For the first time last year, Georgia imported large amounts of  electricity from Armenia, more than in the previous few years.

Pashinyan stressed the importance of further consistent steps to  strengthen trade, economic, humanitarian and cultural ties. Pashinyan  considered the improvement of the situation related to the teaching  of Georgian in Armenia and Armenian in Georgia to be an important  element of the agreements.  As another important step in  strengthening the entire complex of relations, Pashinyan mentioned  the agreement on facilitation of the visa regime, as a result of  which the citizens of the two countries will be able to make mutual  visits with internal passports.
