Residents of Khelvachauri will now be able to access up to 500 services from the state and private sectors at the newly opened Public Service Hall, a facility distinguished by its modern architecture and high service standards.

The 127th branch of the Public Service Hall was officially inaugurated by the Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Kobakhidze; Minister of Justice, Paata Salia; Chairman of the Government of the Autonomous Republic of Adjara, Sulkhan Tamazashvili; and Chairman of the Public Service Hall, Vakhtang Zhvania.

The Khelvachauri Public Service Hall is fully staffed by local residents.

The Adjara region is currently served by nine Public Service Hall branches: two located in Batumi, and others operating in Kobuleti, Chakvi, Mukhaestate, Shuakhevi, Keda, and Khulo.

An innovative Mobile Public Service Hall project is also operating in Adjara, having already provided services to more than 10,000 residents across dozens of villages in the region.

As part of ongoing infrastructure development and efforts to improve access to public services, four additional Public Service Halls are currently under construction in Mtskheta, Akhmeta, Zot, and Chala.

The opening ceremony of the Khelvachauri branch was attended by representatives of the central and local governments, members of the legislative and executive authorities, and other invited guests.

The Minister of Justice discussed opportunities for enhancing legal cooperation between the two countries with the Ambassador of Kyrgyzstan.

During the meeting, Paata Salia introduced Maksat Mamitkanov to the main areas of activity of the Ministry of Justice. It was noted that the Ministry’s priorities include promoting democratic values and strengthening the rule of law, ensuring effective representation of the state’s interests in international courts, as well as further developing the penitentiary and crime prevention systems.

The discussion also focused on strengthening institutional cooperation between the two countries in both civil and criminal matters.

The Georgian side expressed its readiness to share its experience with Kyrgyzstan in implementing successful reforms aimed at improving access to public services.

Paata Salia invited Maksat Mamitkanov and the Kyrgyz delegation to attend the UN Public Services Forum, which will be held in Tbilisi on June 23–25 of this year.

The meeting was also attended by First Deputy Minister of Justice Beka Dzamashvili and Deputy Head of the Department of International Relations and Legal Cooperation Ana Ivanishvili.
