Yesterday, the Asian Development Bank's Director General for its Central and West Asia Department Werner Liepach held a visit to Georgia. We had a very interesting conversation, and I would like to point out one very important aspect.
The Asian Development Bank (ADB), in its future work, will focus on regional cooperation projects. In this case, "regional" refers to our country's neighborhood, along with the countries of Central Asia, other Asian regions, and the Gulf States.
Most importantly, emphasis is placed on the effect of each dollar or euro spent in terms of attracting investments from the private sector. In other words, greater emphasis will be placed on the development of the private sector, importantly on the development of green economy, alternative energy sources, which is also important to our country, also on the fulfillment of our international obligations related to the UN SDGs.
First of all, it means more investments in our country, more cooperation, and a cleaner environment which, I reiterate, is embraced fully by us. I would like to thank the Asian Development Bank and its local office for excellent cooperation.
