There are ambitious projects for this, including ambitious infrastructure projects. The historical project of Rikoti, the project of the Tbilisi-Batumi highway will be brought to the end, and the construction of the highway will continue in the direction of the borders, it concerns the border of Armenia, the border of Azerbaijan.
