Minister of Justice of Georgia Discusses Prospects of Deepening Partnership with the Ambassador of Hungary

Minister of Justice, Rati Bregadze held an introductory meeting today with Hungarian Ambassador, Anna Maria Shikos. The conversation touched upon the deepening of sectoral cooperation between the Ministries of Justice of Georgia and Hungary. The Minister proposed to the Hungarian ambassador to strengthen the partnership in the direction of legal cooperation in civil matters. Rati Bregadze expressed his readiness to host his Hungarian counterpart in Georgia so that the Justice Ministers of the two countries could sign a bilateral agreement on mutual legal assistance in civil matters.
