GEORGIA-CZECH COOPERATION IN 1993-2023
Keywords:
Czech Republic, Georgia, diplomatic relations, partnership.Abstract
This article presents a short version of the authors' work, in which 30 years of diplomatic relations between Georgia and the Czech Republic are studied.
Multilateral relations between the two countries were established after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The trade and economic sphere is the most developed between the two countries, and the Czech side has already implemented a number of infrastructure and investment projects in Georgia.
Cooperation with the Czech Republic is strategically important for Georgia: as a successful economic model, the Czech Republic can share rich experience with Georgia. Also, in the conditions of Russia's hybrid war, the Czech Republic has overcome a number of challenges, and in this regard it can provide great support to Georgia.
