"Poti has a centuries-old tradition of education and the dissemination of knowledge, which continues today through the development of modern educational institutions. New Georgian University is a clear example of this, providing hundreds of young people each year with knowledge and spiritual education that are extremely important for the development of future generations and the well-being of our country," Mikanadze said.
He said the university was strengthening its international standing by expanding its educational and research activities.
"Next year, a major international conference will be held here, bringing together more than 400 foreign guests from countries around the world.

The building includes classrooms equipped to modern academic standards, teaching and research laboratories, a multifunctional conference hall, a computer centre and a multidisciplinary library.
