"We offer them investments in the field of logistics, including the Anaklia Port, as well as energy sector, which is one of the important directions the Japanese investors are interested in. We already have the TEPCO Company, which is already participating as one of the investors in the field of energy in Georgia," said Genadi Arveladze.

To be informed, the Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia, Levan Davitashvili, announced a few weeks ago that the Abu Dhabi Ports Corporation of the United Arab Emirates was interested in the development of the deep-water port of Anaklia. AD Ports Group itself is a state-owned company under the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. According to the Minister, other companies have also expressed interest in the port. 

To be reminded, in January 2020, the Georgian government terminated its contract with the Anaklia Development Consortium, which was followed by an appeal to the Arbitration Court by the Consortium, as well as one of its investors, Bob Meyer.

The Anaklia Development Consortium disputes that the destructive steps taken by the Georgian government have halted the implementation of this infrastructure project, which has caused significant financial losses to the investors.
