Minister of Justice of Georgia Paata Salia Opens the 35th Session of the State Commission on Migration Issues

The 35th session of the State Commission on Migration Issues was opened by the Chairman of the Commission, Minister of Justice of Georgia Paata Salia.

In his opening remarks, the Minister highlighted the Government of Georgia’s migration policy and emphasized the importance of migration-related issues within the framework of national priorities, as well as the broader regional and international agenda.

According to Paata Salia, the evolving nature of contemporary migration processes — shaped by security considerations, economic development needs, and demographic challenges — requires the state to pursue a flexible, evidence-based, and forward-looking policy. Such an approach is essential to effectively address emerging challenges while making full use of the opportunities associated with migration.

During the session, participants heard a presentation by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia on recent legislative amendments in the field of migration. These amendments were developed through effective cooperation among the member agencies of the State Commission on Migration Issues and the Parliament of Georgia.

The members of the Commission also reviewed the outcomes of the UN International Migration Review Forum (IMRF), where the Georgian inter-agency delegation presented the country’s experience and reforms in the field of migration to international partners.

The expanded session was attended by representatives of relevant state institutions, international organizations, and the Public Defender’s Office of Georgia.

The State Commission on Migration Issues is a consultative body of the Government of Georgia chaired by the Ministry of Justice of Georgia. The Secretariat of the Commission is carried out by the LEPL State Services Development Agency.
