We possess a clear vision and an ambitious roadmap under which approximately USD 7 billion will be invested in the country`s strategic infrastructure by 2032. Such a statement the Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development made at the official ceremony marking International Day of the Seafarer in Batumi.

As she noted, the flagship initiative of this infrastructure roadmap is the Anaklia Deep Sea Port.

"Anaklia symbolises new opportunities for Georgia, yielding increased cargo turnover, job creation, and robust economic growth. It opens up the possibility for large vessels sailing under the Georgian flag to navigate the global oceans, commanded by Georgian seafarers.

We are confident that the development of Georgia`s maritime sector will make a substantial contribution to the country`s economic progress and will further solidify Georgia`s position within the Middle Corridor, cementing our role as a vital transit hub connecting Europe and Asia", - said Mariam Kvrivishvili.

She extended her congratulations to maritime industry professionals on their day, expressing deep gratitude for their hard work and dedication: "Your tireless efforts and sense of responsibility strengthen Georgia`s standing within the international maritime community, laying a resilient foundation for our country`s future success".
