DP World to evaluate investment opportunities of Georgia

DP World Group Chairman and CEO of Ports, Customs and Freezones Corporation, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, met with the Prime Minister of Georgia, Giorgi Kvirikashvili, at the Annual Investment Meeting in Dubai to explore possible future opportunities for economic co-operation.

During the meeting, Bin Sulayem suggested diverse solutions for Georgia’s trade and logistics development plans. Both parties agreed that a DP World research team should visit the country to evaluate the potential for the possible construction of a marine terminal, inland terminal, logistics park or economic zone, similar to many other projects being developed along the New Silk Way between China and Europe.

“Georgia presents a promising business environment where trade can play an ever greater role in developing the country’s manufacturing base, while encouraging growth of the state’s extensive logistics, distribution and warehousing potential. Georgia is also well placed to facilitate trade between Aktau port in Kazakhstan along the New Silk Way, providing access to the Black Sea," Bin Sulayem said.

DP World is developing seamless trade solutions to stimulate economic growth around the world, advising governments through its experiences and expertise in multiple locations in over 40 countries.
