Georgia has a very important geopolitical location and we are fully committed to this so-called Regarding the idea of development of the Middle Corridor, which has become a very interesting and attractive alternative route, - the Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Gharibashvili, said about this at the panel discussion held within the framework of the Davos Economic Forum - "The new dawn of Eurasia?" he said during his speech.

The Prime Minister focused on the construction of the deep-water port in Anaklia and the modernization of the railway.

"Two years ago, we signed a very important road map together with our Kazakh and Azerbaijani colleagues. We, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, have a very clear and clear plan regarding the development of this corridor and we know what needs to be done - expansion of port infrastructure, development of productivity, modernization of railways, development of airports and road infrastructure, etc.

We will keep you updated on these very important projects. This year we want to start the construction of a new deep-water port in Anaklia, on the Black Sea coast of Georgia. Also, the railway is being modernized and will be completed this year. Its capacity in Georgia will double and exceed 48 million tons. We are also planning to build a new airport, because we want to position the country as a regional aviation hub. The location of Georgia also contributes to this. We have full potential to become a regional aviation hub.

All infrastructural projects, such as the construction of highways, the East-West Expressway, will be completed this year, and other important projects will be crowned in two years.

I would also like to mention how important is China's interest in these alternative routes - the so-called to the middle corridor. I had a very successful visit to China last year. I met with President Xi Jinping and we decided to take our partnership to a strategic level. China expressed its interest a few months ago. The president expressed his interest in the middle corridor and I believe that this will give more incentive and charge to the development of this idea", said Irakli Gharibashvili.
