PM: By Connecting Electricity Transmission Lines and Power Energy Systems, Europe may Connect Entire Region of South Caucasus

“Georgia’s strategic geographic location makes us a natural bridge between the West and the East, serving as a gateway for eight landlocked countries of South Caucasus and Central Asia; a crucial link on EU’s Global Connectivity map and a game changer, when it comes to diversification of transport routes and energy supply to Europe,” stated Irakli Garibashvili, Prime Minister of Georgia at the Plenary Session on Strategic Partnership for Green Energy Development and Transmission held in Romania.

Garibashvili delivered a keynote speech at the Plenary Session on Strategic Partnership for Green Energy Development and Transmission held at the Cotroceni Palace of Romania and spoke about the new quadrilateral agreement along with other leaders participating in the milestone event.

The Prime Minister of Georgia noted that present geopolitical challenges and the war in Ukraine have made the need for diversification and resilience even more imperative, in order to address urgent challenges of energy security.

Garibashvili expressed his gratitude to the Romanian side for organizing and hosting the historic event while thanking Ursula Von Der Leyen, President of the European Commission for her support towards the project.

„I am pleased to address the distinguished audience at today’s important gathering. At the outset, I would like to thank the Romanian side for hosting and organizing this event, which has historical importance. I also thank Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission for supporting the project.

Present geopolitical challenges and the war in Ukraine has made the need for diversification and resilience even more imperative, in order to address urgent challenges of energy security. Georgia’s strategic geographic location makes us a natural bridge between the West and the East, serving as a gateway for eight landlocked countries of South Caucasus and Central Asia; a crucial link on EU’s Global Connectivity map and a game changer, when it comes to diversification of transport routes and energy supply to Europe.

With this in mind, we have made connectivity a top priority, with a special vision of connectivity of the Caucasus region and Europe. We are investing in expanding and modernizing our energy, digital and transport infrastructure; we are bringing these sectors in line with the EU norms and standards according to the commitments under the AA/DCFTA, Common Aviation Area Agreement and within the Energy Community. Extended TEN-T core network and the EaP Economic and Investment Plan provide important tools to facilitate investments in the strategic projects that have national and the wider regional value as well,” noted the Prime Minister of Georgia.

As Garibashvili noted, by connecting the power systems of Georgia, Romania, Azerbaijan, and Hungary, Europe will be able to connect not only with Georgia but with the entire South Caucasus region.
