“Canada is Georgia’s one of the most important partners in the international politics; Canada is a huge supporter of Georgia in every international organization, including in NATO,” MP Gilauri said.
 
PM Gilauri’s press office said that possible free trade agreement with Canada was also discussed during the meeting, as well as “a strategic agreement” between the two countries in the sphere of military cooperation.
