Iran ready to invest in Georgian economy
By Laman Sadigova
Iranian businesses are ready to invest in the Georgian economy, but the visa regime implemented by the Georgian government is the main obstacle to this, said Mahmoud Davari, Head of the Georgian-Iranian business development center.
The official noted that the Iranian entrepreneurs mainly interested in the agriculture sector.
"We want to rent 2,000 hectares of land to grow wheat and maize for export to Iran. These products are in high demand in Iran. In addition, we are ready to bring to Georgia 100,000 tourists from Iran, but the visa regime prevents us," said Davari, Vestnik-Kavkaza reports.
He further noted that the best thing is to return to the visa-free regime, as it was before.
“If this is not possible, then at least to make simplifications of visa regulations to give the Georgian-Iranian business ties a prospect for development. We ask the Georgian government to consider this question,” he said.
