American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) celebrated its 20th anniversary in Georgia yesterday.
AmCham’s contribution to the development of the Georgian economy was assessed as important by the Minister of Economy Giorgi Kobulia at the organisation’s gala dinner last night.
“During its 20 years of existence, AmCham has helped us with advice and support in the process of reforming our country,” Giorgi Kobulia added expressing his hope that fruitful cooperation with AmCham will continue in the future as well.
He said that AmCham is a mechanism through which businesses can access the government and deliver concerns that have to be addressed.
Giorgi Kobulia also emphasised the importance of a possible free trade agreement between Georgia and US and expressed his hope that the next step of deepening relations between the two countries would be the signing of the agreement.
American Chamber of Commerce started operating in Georgia in 1998 and currently represents one of the largest business unions in the country involving more than 200 companies. The chamber aims at strengthening ties between Georgia and the US as well as contributing to the improvement of the business environment in the country.
