The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement will build a regional logistics hub in Georgia, Trend reports via the press service of the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia.

“The whole region will be able to conduct joint trainings, and will be provided with the necessary equipment and materials. It will contribute to Georgian economy, as transportation will increase and, therefore, more jobs will be created,” the Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia Natia Turnava said.
