Ambassador’s Welcome Speech

Greetings to the visitors of the webpage of the Embassy of Georgia to the State of Kuwait,

Dear visitors, the Embassy of Georgia to Kuwait has been functioning since the year 2007. I am the fourth Ambassador of Georgia to Kuwait, which is a great honor for me. At the same time it is also a wish of mine that came true in a way, since I, as an orientalist and a specialist of history of Arab countries by education, received at the close of my diplomatic career the opportunity of serving my term in an Arab state.

Georgia has long historic ties with the Middle East and my goal is to facilitate re-establishment of relations between our states after restoration of independence of Georgia, as well as development of relations with this region, which is important for us and specifically with The State of Kuwait.

Relations between Georgia and Kuwait have been developing especially actively during recent years. Commencement of direct air travel between our states has made a significant contribution to this process. I am certain, that through our efforts and with participation and support from the Georgian diaspora in Kuwait, our cooperation is going to develop further, not just in the field of tourism, but also in the spheres of trade and economy, education, culture and sports.

With respect,

Konstantin Zhgenti
Ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary
Of Georgia to the State of Kuwait
