Lithuania supports Georgia’s euro-integration and is ready to share experience

Thursday, September 2, Vilnius - President of the Republic of Lithuania Dalia Grybauskaitė met with Georgian Prime Minister Nikoloz Gilauri, who is visiting Lithuania.

"Lithuania continues to support successful implementation of structural political and economic reforms in Georgia. Lithuania is ready to share its euro-integration experience with your country. Joint projects that promote cooperation in specific economic areas would strengthen Lithuanian-Georgian relations and would also contribute to advancing European standards and norms in Georgia," President Dalia Grybauskaitė said.

The President underlined that despite the significant progress in carrying out fundamental reforms and moving towards market liberalization, Georgia should make more efforts to enhance its administrative capacities. Only a breakthrough in this area will pave the way for the free trade agreement with the European Union.

The President also stressed the need to strengthen bilateral economic relations. According to the President, closer cooperation among Lithuanian and Georgian businesspeople would open up new trade and business opportunities for the business communities of the two countries.
