"During my visit to Georgia, I discussed with Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze today in Tbilisi the paths of cooperation that serve the priorities of sustainable development in our two countries and bring growth and prosperity to our two peoples, within the framework of the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement between them. The UAE is keen to strengthen its developmental partnerships with countries in the Caucasus region, based on its approach of building bridges of cooperation that achieve common interests for all," Sheikh Mohamed shared on X.

"For the first time in Tbilisi, I had the privilege of hosting the President of the UAE, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. During the visit, we engaged in productive discussions across all strategic directions, exploring opportunities for closer cooperation and reinforcing our shared commitment to advancing bilateral ties. I am confident that through our joint efforts, this historic visit will further strengthen our partnership and serve the mutual interests of both nations," Kobakhidze posted

The visit builds on growing momentum in relations between the two countries. Earlier this year, on January 27, Sheikh Mohamed welcomed Prime Minister Kobakhidze in Abu Dhabi, where discussions focused on expanding cooperation in trade, investment, agriculture, renewable energy, and sustainability.

A key outcome of the meeting was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on investment in development projects in Georgia. The MoU was signed by Mohamed Alabbar, Chairman of Eagle Hills, and Georgian officials Levan Davitashvili and Tornike Rijvadze, with other dignitaries from both countries in attendance.
