US Investments in Anaklia: A Matter of Urgency
The leader of the Georgian party “Lelo – Strong Georgia,” Mamuka Khazaradze, spoke to journalists about the importance of US investments returning to Anaklia.
According to Khazaradze, the United States wants access to Central Asia’s raw materials market. The port of Anaklia is seen as a key route for this access. Recent events have made Georgia’s role in this matter more significant.
A bipartisan group of US senators recently introduced a bill that aims to restrict Chinese investments and replace them with American ones. A major Chinese company has also sold its ports in Panama to the US. Khazaradze believes these developments make it essential for US investments to return to Anaklia as soon as possible.
Khazaradze sees the return of US investments to Anaklia as crucial for Georgia’s security, position, and role in the world. He thinks that emphasizing this issue should be the top priority today.
