Ukraine is interested in the further development of bilateral relations with Georgia, which is its important regional partner in the Black Sea basin, Deputy Prime Minister Sergiy Tigipko has said ahead of the Ukrainian government delegation's official visit to Georgia.
"It’s currently necessary to add more pragmatism to Ukrainian-Georgian relations, focusing on trade and economy," he was quoted as saying by the Ukrainian government’s press service.
The program of the two-day visit, which will be made on July 16-17, foresees Tigipko’s meetings with Prime Minister Nikoloz Gilauri, Parliament Speaker David Bakradze, Finance Minister Kakha Baindurashvili, and National Bank Governor Giorgi Kadagidze.
