Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on Tuesday met with Giorgi Khubua, the newly appointed Rector of Kutaisi International University in the country's west, to discuss plans for the development of new educational programmes at the institution.
Khubua, a Professor and Doctor of Legal Science, served as the Rector of Tbilisi State University, while also authoring over 40 scientific works, seven monographs and a textbook.
