Georgia’s PM Bidzina Ivanishvili is holding talks with the Azerbaijani leadership in Baku on December 26.

In the airport in Baku the Georgian delegation was welcomed by first deputy prime minister of Azerbaijan Yaqub Eyyubov.

The Georgian PM will hold talks with his Azerbaijani counterpart Artur Rasizade and President Ilham Aliyev. 

In Baku PM Ivanishvili is accompanied by Foreign Minister Maia Panjikidze; Energy Minister Kakha Kaladze; Economy Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili and State Minister for Diaspora Konstantine Surguladze, as well as Irakli Kovzanadze, head of the state-owned JSC Partnership Fund, which holds stakes in some of the major state enterprises, and Gia Khukhashvili, head of Georgian Development Research institute.

It is Ivanishvili’s second foreign trip after taking PM’s office in late October. He visited Brussels in mid-November.

Ivanishvili said earlier this week that he would visit Armenia in January.
