Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili on Friday left for Azerbaijan on the invitation of President Ilham Aliyev, the Government press office said. 

 

The PM has been scheduled to attend the economic forum of SPECA – the UN Special Program for the Economy of Central Asia –  in Baku later on Friday as an honored guest. The forum related to SPECA’s 25th anniversary is being held under the chairmanship of Azerbaijan this year, the press office noted.
