We highly value Israel as a state. We are facing quite similar challenges. Israel has succeeded in building a very strong state, which takes consolidating the nation, and thus it is truly a role model state for small nations striving to ensure long-term stability in their respective countries.
We had a very meaningful conversation with the Prime Minister of the State of Israel, and we planned very active exchange of visits between our ministries over the next few months.
I believe Georgia very much needs Israel's high technology. We also believe that our security cooperation may prove very important. I also invited Prime Minister Netanyahu to Georgia, and he accepted the invitation. We should expect his visit that, ideally, should be followed by a number of businessmen coming to Georgia. We truly prize Israeli investments in Georgia.
We also had a pleasure of visiting many holy places, which is a special honor for any Christian. I am at the Monastery of the Cross right now, a holy place of immense significance, and I am truly excited to this opportunity to pray for peace in Israel and, of course, Georgia's unification and peace.
