Georgia has led the effort to transform the South Caucasus into a region of opportunities, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said in his speech at the 79th session of the UN General Assembly in New York on Thursday.
"Understanding the firsthand importance of peace, we have led the effort to transform our immediate South Caucasus region from a region of conflicts into a region of opportunities," Kobakhidze stated.
"We welcome the process of peaceful settlement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and in particular, the efforts aimed at normalizing relations with neighboring countries. We have been, and are, willing to provide a regional cooperation format that will support collaboration and trust-building between countries, to make sure differences are left in the past, and that we move forward together to capitalize on all the resources and advantages our region has to offer the world,' the Georgian premier added.
