Georgia and Kyrgyzstan are exploring opportunities to strengthen bilateral cooperation in trade, tourism and transport, as well as expand ties between their parliaments.

The issues were discussed during a meeting between Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili and his Kyrgyz counterpart, Marlen Mamataliev, according to 24kg.

Particular attention was given to the strategic importance of the Middle Corridor, a major transport route connecting Asia and Europe. Both sides expressed their readiness to continue working together to further develop the route.
