The annual meeting of Asian Development Bank (ADB) will be held in Georgia in May 2021, said Georgian Finance Minister Ivane Matchavariani, Trend reports referring to Ministry of Finance of Georgia.
The decision was made by ADB’s Board of Governors.
Matchavariani noted that in 2015, an annual meeting of European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) was held in Tbilisi and was very important for the country.
"The annual meeting of the ADB is much larger than the annual meeting of the EBRD both in terms of the number of participants and the events that will take place within its framework,” said the minister.
