🔽 Short important excerpt from the article:

It is noteworthy the effective steps taken by the Government of Georgia in the direction of deepening trade and economic relations with the Gulf countries. In 2022 the visa-free regime between Georgia and the United Arab Emirates came into force. In addition, a high level working group has been created between the governments of Georgia and the United Arab Emirates and discussions on a free trade agreement between the two countries are underway.

Also, Georgia has already free trade agreements with Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, the European Union, the People's Republic of China and other countries. It should be noted that the Business Chamber of Asia and the Persian Gulf has a representative office in Kuwait and active cooperation in trade and economic direction is in the process. The studies developed by the Research Institute and projects with significant investment potential gives additional opportunities for strengthening and further deepening the economic relations between the two countries.
