I step into this sphere with many years of public service experience and an overwhelming desire to listen to every single person who creates Georgian culture. Such a statement made today the newly appointed Minister of Culture, Maia Bitadze.

“I fully appreciate the weight of responsibility I bear, both to the team and to every single person who creates Georgian culture.

Culture is not merely creativity and heritage; it is part of our nation’s authenticity and identity. It is precisely the language through which we must converse with the entire world. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the entire team, my colleagues, and every individual with whom I have served our country for years. I understand very clearly how long a journey lies ahead of us. I hope our work will be highly successful, and I shall honourably fulfil the trust and responsibility entrusted to me by the team.

I step into this sphere with many years of public service experience and an overwhelming desire to listen to every single person who creates Georgian culture, those who are professionals in the field, who care deeply, and who love this sector. I hope to justify the trust bestowed upon me by the Prime Minister and the team”, - said Maia Bitadze.
