“With Georgia we have very good relations and I´m pleased about the bilateral interest to deepen them further. This is also attested to by signing the protocol that anticipates regular consultations. I´m convinced that this will be an impetus to extending the cooperation between our ministries,” stated Minister Káčer.

At the same time he emphasized that Slovakia strongly supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia within its internationally recognized borders, especially as it pertains to the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine. The chief Slovak diplomat said to his Georgian counterpart that he welcomes the condemnation of the Russian invasion and also respects the decision not to join the EU sanctions, but he expects that Georgia will actively prevent attempts to circumvent them.

“I also conveyed our support and readiness to be helpful in moving Georgia along in a European direction and to continue to share our transformation and integration experiences,” added R. Káčer.

The ministers also appreciated the strengthening of the trade-and-economic cooperation, which has resulted in growing mutual turnover.  Minister Káčer conveyed the interest of several Slovak business entities in investments in Georgia that has statistically one of the most favourable business environments in the world.
