Presidential candidate from the Georgian Labour Party Shalva Natelashvili promises to open the U.S. and Russian markets for Georgian manufacturers.
Natelashvili announced this to reporters after the meetings at the U.S. Congress.
Natelashvili is on a visit to Washington where he is holding meetings at the State Department, the Senate and Congress.
"We will fail to develop economically without opening these two largest markets in the world for Georgian producers," he said. "Therefore, I promise that after I am elected, these markets will be opened to us."
Natelashvili also said he is negotiating with the U.S. authorities to abolish the visa regime with Georgia. These are the first achievements.
The presidential election in Georgia will be held on October 27.
