Dynamics of the existing relationship between Georgia and France and prospects for deepening it were discussed on Thursday in a meeting between the Georgian prime minister Irakli Garibashvili and Gocha Javakhishvili, the newly appointed ambassador to France.
Garibashvili congratulated Javakhishvili on his appointment to the new position and wished him success in his work, the government administration said.
Javakhishvili’s latest appointment follows a range of diplomatic experience, with the envoy contributing to the discussions for transferring the historical Leuville estate near Paris to Georgia over the recent years.
He has received the French National Order of Honour and the Order of Academic Palms for his work.
Georgia’s former ambassador to France, Tea Katukia, submitted her resignation letter to the foreign minister in May.
