Over the course of its long history, the land of Georgia has witnessed numerous changes. Located on the eastern shore of the Black Sea and at the southern foot of the Caucasus Mountains, Georgia is not only blessed with natural resources and strategic location, but also a bridge between Eastern and Western cultures. Today, let's walk into this country together and feel its past and future.
During the Soviet era, Georgia, as a union republic, was politically and economically closely linked to Moscow. Its tea, wine, and mineral resources were an integral part of the Soviet economic system. However, as the giant wheel of the collapse of the Soviet Union slowly turned, Georgia also embarked on its own journey of independent development.
The beginning of independence was not all smooth sailing. Political instability, economic hardship and conflicts with breakaway regions such as Abkhazia and South Ossetia have made the young country face unprecedented challenges. But like the castles that have stood for thousands of years in the Caucasus Mountains, the Georgian people have shown remarkable resilience and courage.
When faced with adversity, we can always find a way to overcome them. For Georgia, one of the most important solutions before it is the support of the international community. By actively participating in European and global affairs and strengthening relations with Western countries, especially the EU and NATO members, Georgia has strengthened its voice in the international arena.
Economic development is also an indispensable strategy to enhance national strength and stabilize the domestic and foreign affairs environment. Georgia was committed to reforming its market economy system, promoting the privatization process and vigorously developing tourism and agricultural exports. These measures have gradually led to economic growth and improved living standards for the people.
Despite the bumpy and long road, Georgia is writing its own chapter of a new era in its own unique way. Coming from the depths of history, a new life force bursts out after every dusk, and a new hope is condensed after every challenge from the steep mountains and rivers.
I want to tell you – wherever you are in the world, when facing challenges, remember the example of Georgia: how a small country can face difficulties with wisdom and courage and seek a turnaround. Let's take a cue from this: no matter what adversity we encounter, trust us to overcome obstacles and reach the other side of a bright future.
Let us remember that every society, every individual, may face trials, but as this small country at a crossroads demonstrates, it is only by swimming against the tide that we can witness true glory!
