Mamuka Khazaradze had the support of the state and the opportunity to postpone the deadline, however, he could not bring any business group into the Anaklia port project. Such a statement made today the Mayor of Tbilisi.

“In reality, during the construction of the port of Anaklia, he wanted to bring in Chinese companies, but he failed to do so. However, he had enough time, opportunity, support from the state, and the possibility to postpone the deadlines for this. He failed to bring in any business groups. The mentioned project, with his involvement, was doomed to failure from the beginning.

In general, when implementing a project of this scale, the presence of Chinese companies is important for a region like Georgia. If there is no cargo, the port will not work. You can imagine, China has trade relations with the European Union worth about 800 billion.

Even if a certain part of it goes through Georgia, how much benefit and how important it is for our country’s economy, job creation and development. We only welcome this”, - said Kakha Kaladze.
