At many meetings, the Chinese side has expressed a very firm and unwavering position regarding the territorial integrity of Georgia. They told us that this position will be continued, - Nikoloz Samkharadze, a member of the delegation of "Georgian Dream" who is on an official visit to the People's Republic of China, Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Parliament, said about this.

According to him, China's support is very important, on the one hand, in the recognition of our territorial integrity and, on the other hand, in the so-called occupation of the occupied territories. In the direction of non-recognition of independence.

"We are in Beijing at the invitation of the Chinese side, we have very high-level meetings with the heads of both the foreign and trade economic sectors. The main topic of our relations with China is, on the one hand, the deepening of political relations in view of the fact that China is a permanent member of the Security Council, therefore, China's support is very important, on the one hand, in the recognition of our territorial integrity and, on the other hand, also in the so-called occupied territories. In the direction of non-recognition of independence. In this regard, we had conversations yesterday and today, and the Chinese side has repeatedly, at many meetings, expressed a very firm and unwavering position regarding the territorial integrity of Georgia. They told us that this position will be continuous, they respect the fundamental principles of international law, they respect the territorial integrity of Georgia, therefore, their position will be unwavering and very clear in this direction," said Nikoloz Samkharadze.

According to him, the second important issue is trade and economic relations.

"You know we have a free trade agreement with China, but just because it exists does not mean that the agreement will work until the end unless efforts are made on both sides. It is important for us that the potential of the Chinese market for Georgian products is utilized as much as possible, because China is the second economy in the world, therefore, there is the greatest potential here. It is also important to develop trade routes, in this case I am talking about the Middle Corridor, which is one of the shortest ways by which China is connected to Europe, and vice versa, Europe is connected to China. Georgia plays a very important role on this road, and for us, in order to maximize our transit potential, quite active economic cooperation with China is also important. There was also talk about the cultural part, the tours of the same creative groups in China, the teaching of the Georgian language in universities and the teaching of the Chinese language in Georgian universities," said Nikoloz Samkharadze.
