"Georgia has been actively cooperating with the Czech Republic for many years both in the field of environmental protection and agriculture. It is important for us to further deepen the existing partnership relations, especially today, when Georgia is waiting for a historic decision from the European Union. Therefore, the support of the Czech Republic in this process will be very important. Along with strengthening the partnership between the state agencies, it is important to deepen the cooperation between the representatives of the private sector. I think today's business forum, the visit of an important delegation to Georgia led by the Minister, is a good opportunity to lay the foundation for deepening trade relations and attracting investments, as well as further strengthening the relations between the Ministries in priority directions," - Otar Shamugia said.
At the opening of the business forum, the Minister of Environmental Protection of the Czech Republic, Petr Hladik, noted that Georgia is a strategic partner for the Czech Republic. For many years, there has been cooperation and partnership relations between the two countries, the deepening of which will be important for both sides.
The business forum was attended by representatives of the Czech and the Georgian business circles in various areas of environmental protection. From the Czech side, representatives of environmental technologies, manufacturing industry, e-waste recycling, healthcare, transport, IT technologies, sewage systems, air conditioning, oil, gas and water industry, waste management and other areas of business were represented. The business forum was organized by the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Georgia, Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Georgia and the Czech Republic.
