The unilateral abolition of visa regime with Russia is a sign of strength, rather than weakness, Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili said at a meeting with the students on Tuesday.

"We expect more tourists from Russia," he said. "Visa-free communication will benefit our economy."
He said that the country's leadership is turn Georgia into the center of tourism in the region.
