Tbilisi, October 22 (Xinhua) – Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, speaking at the opening ceremony of the Fifth Tbilisi Silk Road Forum, noted that the forum serves as an important platform for developing concrete solutions and implementing practical initiatives.
"Over the past ten years, the Tbilisi Silk Road Forum has become a bridge between politics and business. A number of initiatives have emerged here, translating into tangible projects. A clear example of this is the agreement reached at the previous forum in 2023 to establish a joint railway company between Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan. The three-billion-dollar investment portfolio of our partner, the Asian Development Bank, in Georgia also confirms this. The meeting platforms created today are a direct invitation to businesses to form new partnerships and plan new successful projects," stated I. Kobakhidze.
According to him, the Tbilisi Financial Summit will be held for the first time in 2025 as part of the forum, positioning the Georgian capital as a regional hub for innovation.
"Today, connectivity means much more than just physical infrastructure. The Middle Corridor is no longer just a concept; it's a reality, one we contribute to every day. But in the 21st century, sustainable development requires mastering new dimensions of connectivity—energy corridors, digital highways, and the free movement of capital. Therefore, it's fitting that today's forum's panel discussions will focus on these issues: the future of global trade, the potential of the Middle Corridor, energy integration, and digital transformation.
"That's why I'm delighted that the Tbilisi Financial Summit is being held for the first time as part of this year's forum. This landmark innovation, implemented jointly with our Singaporean partners, establishes our capital as a hub for financial and technological innovation in the region," emphasized I. Kobakhidze.
