German Expert to Help Georgian Officials
Saakashvili: Georgia needs a lot of support from outside. |
The German Minister for Development Aid, Heidemarie Wieczorek-Zeul, announced the transfer of 26 million Euros to Georgia to strengthen the country’s economy.
“Georgia is a country that needs a lot of support from outside”, the Georgian President said, adding that without financial help from Germany “the country would have not survived.”
In the talks that followed with Federal President Johannes Rau, Saakashvili said, he has deliberately chosen Germany as the destination of his first foreign visit and not the USA or Russia. Saakashvili will be visiting Moscow and Washington on February 15 and February 25 respectively.
