The Polish prime minister Donald Tusk arrives to Georgia. The Georgian government said that the Polish prime minister would discuss the situation in Abkhazia and South Ossetia and security issues in the region with representatives of the Georgian government. The Tusk's visit to Georgia will last till March 11.
The Georgian-Polish relations intensified not only politically but also on the economic level. In early March, the first meeting of the intergovernmental commission of Georgia and Poland on economic cooperation took place in Tbilisi. Representatives of these countries discussed issues of cooperation in the fields of energy, economy, agriculture, transport, tourism and also an imminent signing of a free trade agreement between Georgia and the EU.
According to the Georgian Ministry of Economy, an agreement is to be signed on establishing regular transportation - air and sea - between Georgia and Poland.
Poland is actively lobbying Georgia's membership in the NATO and the EU. It was also among the first countries that expressed its support for Georgia and its territorial integrity during the Russian-Georgian War in August 2008.
