Georgia, Tbilisi, April 21 / Trend, N. Kirtskhalia /
A sea transport is planned to be opened between Georgia's Poti and the Italian city of Trieste to transport commercial cargo, Georgian Prime Minister Nika Gilauri said commenting on his Italy visit.
"We discussed the possibility of opening a sea transport. It is possible that European cargo will be conveyed to Asia through Poti. This is a very interesting project, as its implementation will attract additional cargo to the country, will bring more profits to us and create new jobs," Gilauri said.
Gilauri was in Italy on a two-day visit.
Also the opening of direct flights between Tbilisi and Rome was discussed during the meeting.
"At a meeting with the Italian Economy Minister a number of new issues were discussed, including the establishment of direct flights between Tbilisi and Rome, in which the Italians are interested. I hope this issue will soon be resolved," Gilauri said.
He said that if an agreement will be reached flights between Rome and Tbilisi will be carried out at least two or three times a week.
