Georgia’s FM talks strategic partnership with Azerbaijan at Raisina Dialogue

Georgia’s Foreign Minister, Maka Bochorishvili, emphasized the significance of the strategic partnership between Georgia and Azerbaijan for the broader region during her speech at the international conference "Raisina Dialogue 2025" in New Delhi.

In her remarks during the panel discussion on "Competition and Cooperation – for a Secure Future," Bochorishvili highlighted several issues of strategic importance for Azerbaijan, Georgia, and the region at large, Caliber.Az reports via local media.

She underlined that Georgia's main priorities are to restore its historical role and strengthen its position in the modern world.

“Thanks to close cooperation with Azerbaijan and Türkiye, and with the support of our strategic partners, a large number of important projects have been realized. Even after decades, these projects remain relevant as they hold significant potential in strengthening pan-European security. These projects are especially vital in the energy and transportation sectors,” said Bochorishvili.

The Georgian Foreign Minister noted that in recent times, Georgia has reaffirmed the importance of cooperation with Azerbaijan, Türkiye, and Armenia. These three countries, according to Bochorishvili, are Georgia’s key partners, and their collaboration is crucial for regional development.

“Peace and security are essential factors for us. The peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia is important not just for us, but for the entire region,” she stressed.

Bochorishvili also touched upon the importance of the Middle Corridor, a transportation route that, according to her, presents new opportunities not only for the countries in the region but for all of Europe.

“The strategic partnership between Georgia and Azerbaijan is aimed at developing not just our two countries but the entire South Caucasus. The Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railroad, the Southern Gas Corridor, and other energy projects stand as the most vivid examples of successful cooperation,” she concluded.
