Minister of Justice Paata Salia met with Roland Price, Regional Director of the World Bank for the South Caucasus, to discuss the long-standing partnership between the LEPL National Agency of Public Registry of the Ministry of Justice and the World Bank. The conversation covered ongoing joint projects as well as prospects for future cooperation.

Discussions focused on reforms in digital governance and land registration. Mr. Price commended Georgia’s achievements in these areas and highlighted the Agency’s valuable experience, noting its potential for sharing best practices with other countries.

Particular emphasis was placed on the efficiency and reliability of the NSDI geoportal, the Smart Contract platform, and other innovative electronic services within the land registration system — all designed with the public’s interests in mind. These initiatives were recognized as clear examples of the effective use of government loan resources and the sound management of investment funds.

The meeting was also attended by First Deputy Minister of Justice Lasha Maghradze, Chairman of the National Agency of Public Registry Davit Devidze, and Elene Grigolia, Joint Project Manager of the National Agency of Public Registry and the World Bank.
