Tbilisi, December 25 (Xinhua) — The strategic partnership between China and Georgia brings great benefits to the peoples of both countries, Chinese Ambassador to Georgia Zhou Qian said Wednesday at a New Year's reception in Tbilisi.
In his speech, Zhou Qian emphasized that 2025 would be a fruitful year for the development of the Chinese-Georgian strategic partnership, with political trust between the two countries significantly strengthened. During the year, several official Georgian delegations visited China. In November, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze participated in the 8th China International Import Expo and met with Chinese Premier Li Qiang.
According to Chinese statistics, from January to October 2025, bilateral trade volume reached $2.23 billion, a 20.6 percent increase year-on-year. Exports from China to Georgia totaled $1.95 billion, a 19.2 percent increase year-on-year, while exports from Georgia to China reached $280 million, a 31.1 percent increase year-on-year.
"High-quality products made in China help the Georgian people continually improve their quality of life, and Georgian wine and agricultural products are becoming increasingly popular among Chinese consumers," the Chinese ambassador noted.
Zhou Qian noted the contribution of Chinese companies to the development of Georgian infrastructure, including the construction of highways, which contributes to the country's transformation into a regional transport hub in the Middle Corridor.
The diplomat noted that the teaching of Chinese was introduced into the Georgian state education system, and that a specialization in the Georgian language was opened in China.
According to Zhou Qian, the friendship between the two countries has a solid historical and cultural foundation. China and Georgia, as countries with ancient civilizations and similar aspirations for peace and development, can deepen the alignment of their national development strategies and expand cooperation in trade, transportation, and culture, he added.
