"We are ready to cooperate with the new government in the most essential issues and as leader of the opposition forces, I am ready to promote our country abroad as happened previously. I am willing to make efforts to attract new investments and create a positive image for Georgia," he stated.

He also said that during his presidency and that of the office of the United National Movement, pensions in the country have increased tenfold and the number of insured 100 times.

"The new government must move on and all the positive initiatives in this direction will be supported by the opposition," the Georgian president added.
