UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze have reinforced their commitment to expanding bilateral cooperation, with a particular focus on investment, sustainability, and economic integration.
The high-level talks, held on Wednesday, come as Georgia emerges as a key destination for Emirati investment and solidifies its position as a crucial commercial hub linking Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
Georgia has become an increasingly attractive destination for UAE capital, benefiting from its strategic geographic location at the crossroads of major trade routes.
The country's position as a gateway between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea makes it an essential commercial corridor for regional trade, particularly for goods moving between Europe and Asia.
Emirati investors have shown growing interest in Georgia's diverse economic sectors, recognizing the country's potential as both an investment destination and a strategic partner in expanding UAE's economic footprint across the Caucasus and beyond.
The discussions were conducted within the framework of the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between the UAE and Tbilissi, a landmark accord designed to eliminate trade barriers and facilitate bilateral commerce.
The leaders explored opportunities for enhanced cooperation in several key areas supporting the development goals of both nations.
The meeting took place during Prime Minister Kobakhidze's working visit to the UAE to participate in Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, which commenced yesterday.
Both leaders emphasized the significance of this global platform in promoting dialogue and exchanging ideas to accelerate the transition toward a more sustainable, inclusive, and prosperous future.
NATO member Turkey would consider taking its relations with the China and Russia-led security bloc, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, to a higher level, President Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday.
The U.S. and Iran found themselves back in a war footing on Wednesday after the most significant exchange in weeks, with Washington threatening even more devastating strikes while Iran protested an attack that it said killed five and wounded dozens of civilians at a wedding.
The U.N. nuclear watchdog has resolved its outstanding questions from an investigation into secret nuclear activities in Syria under the Assad family's rule but made no progress in Iran, it said on Tuesday in confidential reports seen by Reuters.
