I am pleased that today in Poti we are laying the foundation for the construction of a new berth, which is a crucial for the development of our country`s economic and transport potential. Such a statement the Prime Minister of Georgia made at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new berth at the Port of Poti.

As he noted, the expansion of the Poti seaport is another sign that Georgia is establishing itself as a regional logistical hub.

"This project unites the state, Georgian business, and American financial institutions around a common goal. I would like to express special gratitude to the United States International Development Finance Corporation (DFC). This project is yet another clear proof that cooperation based on trust, shared values, and sustainable development goals always yields tangible results.

At the same time, it is of particular importance that the initiator and implementer of this large-scale vision is a Georgian company. The success of "Pace Group" shows that local business has the competence and all the resources to implement, together with international partners, such large-scale projects that shape our country`s economic future", - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
