He attended the Georgian-Czech business forum, organised by the Energo-Pro Company, which works in the Georgian energy sector.
Mr Gilauri said that an agreement to open the plant had been reached. "It is very important for Georgia, as we need to create new jobs and develop production," he said.
He went on to highlight an agreement reached with the Czech Eximbank to grant loans to companies that want to do business in Georgia. "First and foremost, Czech businessmen are interested in the energy, transport and agriculture sectors in Georgia," he said.
He also said another agreement was reached during the business forum.
