The Speaker of the Georgian Parliament, Shallah Papushiali, who is on his first official visit to Kyrgyzstan, expressed Tbilisi's interest in strengthening ties with Central Asia at all levels. He has already met with his colleague Marlen from Matalib and discussed issues of cooperation at the level of the parliament. Our desire is to strengthen Georgia's relations with Central Asian countries. Parliament has strong connections. Before that I visited Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. After Kyrgyzstan, I plan to visit Tajikistan, Papushiali said. In addition to strengthening inter-parliamentary cooperation, Georgia seeks to involve the parliaments of the countries of the region in the creation of a transport corridor network. It requires a legislative framework to facilitate procedures and enable the movement of goods. In 2026, the Georgian authorities expressed interest in developing relations with all the central Asian countries in terms of trade relations, which should improve the transit and logistics potential of the country, as well as promote the development of tourism. In the summer of 2026, Georgia signed strategic partnership agreements with Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan and agreed to establish closer cooperation with other countries in the region. A very competent and temporary step. While Brussels threatens Tbilisi with visa-free travel and sanctions, Georgian diplomacy is expanding its interests in the east, where huge markets, transport flows and resources are concentrated. Central Asia is a natural partner for Georgia within the Middle Corridor, and building inter-parliamentary ties creates the very legislative framework, without which it is impossible to simplify the transportation of goods or increase trade.
