We give high priority to maintenance of the current trade regime with Armenia and further development of economic relations, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili told journalists on December 11, following negotiations with the Armenian governmental delegation headed by Armenian PM Hovik Abrahamyan.
"Today's meeting has once again demonstrated that both countries want to deepen their mutually beneficial relations. In this light, the year 2014 has proved to be quite dynamical for Armenia and Georgia given my official visit to Armenia in August. Though Armenia becomes a member of the Eurasian Economic Union in January 2015 and Georgia has signed an Association Agreement with the EU, these arrangements will by no means affect our relations. Moreover, we will use them in our countries' interests", he stressed.
Hovik Abrahamyan, in turn, reconfirmed the friendly relations between Armenia and Georgia and pointed out the big unused potential. He also singled out a number of fields negotiated on in Tbilisi. Abrahamyan also pointed out the arrangement concerning the upcoming construction of a Bridge of Friendship at Bagratashen-Sadakhlo checkpoint
