Georgian Foreign Minister Salome Zourabichvili and China?s charge d’affaires to Georgia Tsi Dayou signed an agreement on December 24, according to which the People?s Republic of China will assist the Georgian government with a grant of 5 million Yuan (approximately USD 604 thousand).

Georgian Foreign Minister Salome Zourabichvili said that 2004 marked a ?milestone” in relations between Georgia and China.
