The Minister of Justice of Georgia, Paata Salia, met with the United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs, Li Junhua. The parties discussed the strong cooperation between Georgia and the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, as well as opportunities for further deepening this partnership.
