Georgia attaches great importance to the presence of high-quality transportation infrastructure in the region with a view to develop the economy, Prime Minister Nika Gilauri at the opening of a conference on the Transport Infrastructure Development in the South Caucasus today.

The two-day international conference on the 'Prospects of transport infrastructure development in the South Caucasus' runs in Tbilisi under the auspices of the World Bank and the Regional Development and Infrastructure Ministry.

Delegates will be presenting their views on transport infrastructure development in the region. Prospects of road and rail infrastructure in the South Caucasus will be discussed and the ministry aims to establish closer cooperation within the infrastructure projects.
