First of all, I wish to congratulate those, who will be working here, investor and team of the Produce in Georgia for making this project happen in challenging times. We all need to understand it well that our current attitude to businesses and investors need to be absolutely new and different as each job is highly valued for the country nowadays. Not only the creation of new jobs, but maintenance of current ones is the prime task of the Government of Georgia nowadays. Thus, I wish to thank the investor, team of the Produce in Georgia for making this project happen. Georgian Textile is a continuation of the large initiative, which is being carried out by investors of Adjara Textile in Georgia. It is already the fourth enterprise in the country and we should all understand it well that by the end of the next year it will employee 4 000 residents of Rustavi.
