Vice PM : We want the time and effort that the government, donors, and consortiums put into this project not to be lost

The Anaklia Port Project should be implemented by “TBC-Anaklia Holding” and equalizing it with “TBC Group” or “TBC Bank” will not be correct,- Vice Prime Minister of Georgia Maia Tskitishvili, who is the Minister of Regional Development and Infrastructure, said responding to a question about the Anaklia Port Project. She said the consortium must fulfill its commitments instead of carrying out political speculations and the non-constructive process.

As the Minister of Infrastructure pointed out, taking global and economic security into account, making American and Georgian investments in this project is to be welcomed.

“As for the question – whether the Anaklia Port will be built or not, it has been repeatedly replied and I will reiterate : this project will be definitely implemented regardless of whether the "Anaklia Development Consortium" will successfully meet its obligations or not. We want the time and effort that the government, donors, and consortiums put into this project not to be lost and the current investor to be able to obtain funding by the end of the year. In order to implement it, the consortium needs to fulfill its obligations instead of political speculation and a non-constructive process,” Maia Tskitishvili said.
