“We discussed various issues related to the development of our bilateral relations, including trade and economic cooperation, energy and connectivity, environmental protection, agriculture, defense, justice, education, and culture. This format touches upon all these areas,” Kobakhidze noted. “It can be said with confidence that there is tremendous potential for further deepening our relations in all directions, and we will do everything to maximize that potential.”

The Georgian Prime Minister also expressed his satisfaction that several memorandums of understanding were signed during the summit, which he said would further strengthen and deepen relations between Georgia and Hungary.

Kobakhidze stressed that the close political ties between the two countries are demonstrated by the frequent exchange of visits and meetings.
