In his comment on the recent high-level meetings during his visit to Brussels, Georgian Prime Minister Mamuka Bakhtadze stated that, without exaggeration, today is a historic day-Georgia is recognized as the most successful country on the path to EU integration. Consequently, our European partners chose Georgia to offer this unique platform.
As the Head of Government pointed out, the inaugural session of the high-level format was attended by President Juncker and practically all European Commissioners. Steps to be taken in every direction were reevaluated in order to bring Georgia even closer to the EU.
"We have very significant results. We will receive considerable support to expand Georgia's export in the European market, and that applies to SMEs. It is a very important step, especially given the fact that overcoming poverty is our absolute priority, and the EU is standing by us in solving this crucial issue. Another issue relates to the educational system and our students. A decision was made, and we will have several platforms further simplifying education in EU member states for Georgian students. The EU will support us in the most important cause of reforming the system of education. We will also enjoy support under the green economy initiative," Mamuka Bakhtadze stated.
According to the Prime Minister, opportunities were also considered for Georgia to receive additional assistance to help enhance its social policy and to develop legal frameworks in a number of new areas, also with support from the EU.
"To summarize, it is a plan for developing tomorrow's Georgia, a Georgia we all wants to see, so that our most cherished dream may come true and Georgia may become a full member of the EU. It is toward this goal that a decisive step has been taken today, and I would like to congratulate our citizens on this day," the Head of Government told Georgian journalists in Brussels.
