The Executive Director of the National Association of Local Authorities of Georgia, Nino Rukhadze, hosted the newly appointed Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of the Republic of Lithuania to Georgia, Darius Vitkauskas.
Tatiana Bokuchava, the Deputy Executive Director of NALAG, and Mariam Jintcharadze, the organization’s International Projects Development Manager, also attended the introductory meeting on behalf of the association.
The association’s representatives congratulated Darius Vitkauskas on his appointment and wished him success in his work.
During the meeting, the parties discussed the prospects of cooperation between the municipalities of Georgia and Lithuania. They emphasized that Georgia’s self-governing units play a significant role in the country’s European integration process, making it essential to promote and develop decentralized cooperation with European municipalities that have already undergone this process.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the Lithuanian Ambassador and NALAG representatives discussed the priorities for mutual cooperation and outlined specific directions for deepening even more active and close ties between the municipalities of the two countries.
Darius Vitkauskas was appointed Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of the Republic of Lithuania to Georgia on August 6 of this year.
