Georgian Minister of Justice Paata Salia, together with First Deputy Minister Beka Dzamashvili and Deputy Minister Tamar Zodelava, met with Cambodian Minister of Telecommunications Chea Vandet.

During the meeting, the Georgian side emphasized that digital transformation is a strategic priority for the Ministry of Justice. Particular attention was paid to the work of the Digital Governance Agency, which is responsible for implementing digital governance, cybersecurity, and information security policies within the Ministry, as well as for the development and maintenance of IT systems.

The discussion also covered technological innovations introduced in the real estate registration system, including the use of smart contracts and the integration of artificial intelligence–based solutions. These technologies enable citizens to carry out property transactions securely and remotely.

In addition, the parties discussed opportunities for cooperation in the development and implementation of modern technologies in public services.

At the conclusion of the meeting, Minister Paata Salia invited the Cambodian Minister of Telecommunications to participate in the UN Public Services Forum, scheduled to be held in Tbilisi on June 23–25 and organized by the Ministry of Justice.

Paata Salia emphasized that participation in the World Government Summit was significant both for strengthening existing international partnerships and for establishing new ones. He noted that the summit sessions, during which countries shared experiences across various fields, were particularly valuable for the Middle Corridor countries.

“The World Government Summit is one of the most important international platforms for sharing experiences, discussing global challenges, and addressing common interests. It also serves as a key venue for deepening cooperation with existing partners and building new partnerships. We participated in several sessions focused on the Global South and the interests of the Middle Corridor countries. Special attention was also given to the use of artificial intelligence in both the public and private sectors. Our participation in the session on artificial intelligence in public governance was especially important: we shared Georgia’s experience and learned from innovative approaches presented by advanced countries, including the Republic of South Korea,” Paata Salia stated.

The World Government Summit is taking place in the United Arab Emirates from February 3 to 5. The Georgian delegation is led by Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze.
