Minister of Justice Discusses Prospects of Cooperation with the Ambassador of Sweden
Minister of Justice, Rati Bregadze thanked Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden, Ulrik Tiddestrom for supporting Georgia's territorial integrity and Euro-Atlantic aspirations.
At the meeting held at the Ministry of Justice, Rati Bregadze spoke about specific directions for deepening cooperation between the Ministries of Justice of Georgia and Sweden.
One of the priorities of the Ministry of Justice of Georgia is the harmonization of Georgian legislation with EU law. To support the process, a special electronic program has been developed and will be launched in the near future, which will ensure a quick and high-quality implementation of the harmonization process. Rati Bregadze expressed an initiative to deepen cooperation with Sweden in this direction.
Another area of strengthening partnership will be bilateral legal relations. For this purpose, Rati Bregadze proposed to Ulrik Tideström to establish an annual Georgian-Swedish legal forum.
Georgia is ready to share Sweden's experience in the direction of penitentiary system reforms as well, which will create more opportunities for the rehabilitation and re-socialization of prisoners, support for activities outside the cell, and strengthening access to health care.
