Concluding Remarks by the Chairperson, H.E. Mr. Dacio Castillo of Honduras, acting on behalf of the current Chairperson of the Trade Policy Review Body, H.E. Dr. Athaliah Lesiba Molokomme of Botswana, at the Trade Policy Review of Georgia, 12 and 14 January 2022.

This third Trade Policy Review of Georgia has been an excellent opportunity to examine the evolution of its trade and related policies since the previous Review in 2016, as well as to learn about the unique challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic that has impacted trade and the global economy. I would like to thank the delegation of Georgia, led by Mr Genadi Arveladze, Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, for its active participation and engagement in this exercise. I would also like to express my appreciation to our discussant, H.E. Ambassador Simon Manley of the United Kingdom, and to the 18 delegations that took the floor during this meeting.
