The Deputy Foreign Minister, Mikheil Ninua and the Director of the Diaspora Relations Department, Malkhaz Gulagashvili introduced the information about the needs of Georgian diasporas and citizens abroad and described the services offered to them by Georgia.
“We heard very interesting information about the regime of the Foreign Affairs Ministry and I would like to note that similar to the medical sphere and the law-enforcement agencies, the consulates, embassies and the diplomats also work in the 24-hour mode, keep communication with the diaspora organizations, clergymen, consulates, young ambassadors, public groups and the institutions abroad”, - B.
