We will implement joint events with the Association of Georgian Employers and other business circles, which will increase bilateral economic relations," the ambassador said. According to the assessment of the parties, the trade balance between the countries is not satisfactory, and it is planned to implement joint measures to achieve better results. "We will create a so-called business bridge between Lithuanian and Georgian entrepreneurs and share the experience that this country has undergone during the period of association with the European Union.
