The Prime Minister noted that the visit is expected to give a new impetus to Georgian-Serbian relations and deepen cooperation across a range of areas.
Kobakhidze said relations between Georgia and Serbia are founded on a long tradition of friendship, mutual respect, and close ties between their peoples. He also pointed to the countries’ shared Christian heritage and common values as important pillars of the partnership.
The Georgian Prime Minister thanked Vučić for Serbia’s continued support for Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, stressing that both countries understand the importance of safeguarding national independence.
The two leaders discussed key issues on the bilateral agenda, including opportunities to expand cooperation and strengthen political dialogue.
“I am pleased that we had the opportunity to discuss in detail the key issues on the bilateral cooperation agenda and to consider prospects for further deepening our ties. We paid special attention to the importance of political dialogue,” Kobakhidze stated.
