Within the framework of the 16th session of the UN Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM), Deputy Minister of Justice of Georgia Tamar Zodelava held a series of high-level bilateral meetings.

During a meeting with representatives of the Netherlands Agency for Cadastre, Land Registration and Cartography (Kadaster), the parties discussed ongoing reforms in Georgia and the Netherlands, with particular emphasis on digital transformation in land administration and geospatial information management.

The discussions highlighted that, drawing on their extensive experience and successful reform efforts, Georgia and the Netherlands are well positioned to jointly provide expert support to other countries and to contribute actively to the development of international guidance documents and methodological recommendations, including the Framework for Effective Land Administration (FELA), through relevant UN working groups.

The parties also explored opportunities to further strengthen bilateral cooperation, implement joint projects, and expand their engagement in global initiatives related to land administration and geospatial information management.

The meeting also reviewed the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2025 between Georgia's National Agency of Public Registry and the Netherlands Agency for Cadastre, Land Registration and Cartography. The memorandum provides a framework for the exchange of expertise and best practices, cooperation in research, development and innovation, and the implementation of joint initiatives. The parties positively assessed the progress achieved to date and reaffirmed their commitment to further expanding cooperation under the memorandum.

The meeting was also attended by Elene Grigolia, Manager of the World Bank's Sustainable Agriculture, Irrigation and Land (GRAIL) Project Subcomponent "Improving Land Administration Services and Creating Digital Governance Infrastructure," and Tamta Chanturia, Head of the Lawmaking Service of the Legal Department of the National Agency of Public Registry.
