Ambassador’s Welcome Speech

I am delighted to welcome you to the official website of the Embassy of Georgia to the Republic of India, concurrently accredited to the People's Republic of Bangladesh, Republic of Maldives, Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, and the Kingdom of Thailand.

It is my profound privilege and honour to represent Georgia, as the Ambassador of my nation, to India, Bangladesh, Maldives, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Thailand, countries that possess incredibly rich and ancient heritage with a diverse array of history, culture and traditions.

Despite the differences in our geographical locations and the historical evolution of our distinctive cultures, our people share many similarities in traditions and human values, as well as their courageous resilience in the face of adversity since ancient times. It is our earnest endeavour to strengthen our bonds of friendship in order to achieve a greater association through mutual cooperation and shared perspectives.

During recent years, there has been a dynamic progression in various fields of interaction with each state that our Embassy is privileged to be accredited to. We have established important formats of cooperation aimed at developing political, cultural and economic ties, which will support the efforts of all of us, to attain greater prosperity for our nations.

We deeply appreciate the support from our friendly countries for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia, a long cherished goal of the Georgian people. This is a testament to our historical links, based on mutual respect, amity and shared values.

Our goal is to strengthen the bonds between our states by enhancing the mutual awareness of our people towards the tangible and intangible affinity of our cultural heritage, to develop tourism, to hold joint exhibitions, to exchange high-level visits and to enhance business connections. We are confident that each of these efforts will serve to reinforce and rejuvenate the existing friendly relations between our people and provide solid ground for their consistent growth.

Together with the members of our diplomatic mission, I am honoured to bring my modest contribution to this important process.

This website will help you to gain information about Georgia, our ancient and enchanting land with its amazing people, the activities of our Embassy, our consular services and the progress of bilateral relations between Georgia and each state that our Embassy has the honour to be accredited to.
