Tbilisi (GBC) - Georgian Economy Minister Levan Davitashvili on Tuesday said the country’s Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze and his Kuwaiti counterpart Sheikh Ahmad Abdullah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah had made a decision on creating a working group to address “specific issues” during a meeting earlier that day.
“[The group] will be composed of representatives from both governments. It will focus on specific issues and will involve collaboration from both the private and public sectors. I believe this approach can lead to effective cooperation in the near future”, he said.
He emphasised the “great” potential for collaboration with Kuwait particularly in trade and investment sectors.
During discussions with the Kuwaiti Prime Minister and his Government delegation earlier during the day, Davitashvili said he had highlighted the growing influx of tourists from Kuwait to Georgia, indicating this trend was likely to continue.
“We discussed potential projects that may interest Kuwaiti investors, including tourism, hospitality, real estate, and retail investments”, he said.
The Minister added to ensure these discussions translated into “tangible results”, the prime ministers decided to establish the working group. He also mentioned the possibility of high-level visits this year that would enhance Georgia’s profile in Kuwait and further attract Kuwaiti investors.
Davitashvili said his Ministry had been “actively” collaborating with several “largest groups” from Kuwait over the past year, and expressed hope these established connections with potential investors would yield “positive outcomes” this year.
