Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will pay an official visit to Georgia, Turkish Ambassador to Turkey Fatma Ceren Yazgan said. According to the diplomat, the date of the visit has not been set yet.
"When the former Prime Minister of Georgia Gakharia arrived in Turkey in 2018, it was agreed during the talks that a high-level strategic council meeting should be held in Turkey, which would be attended by members of the Turkish and Georgian cabinets.
After that, President Erdogan was supposed to pay a visit to Georgia in the spring, but a pandemic started and everything was closed. Now we are trying to agree on a date and we are waiting for the Georgian government and their schedule. I do not know yet when this meeting will take place, but I will be honored if the President of my country arrives in Georgia as soon as possible, as the strategic partnership between our countries continues. Erdogan will visit Georgia, he said at a meeting with the media, but the date must be agreed first. I hope it will be possible soon," the ambassador said.
Turkey is Georgia's largest trading partner. In 2020, Turkey accounted for 14.1% of Georgia's total foreign trade turnover.
