The Minister of Justice met with the Representative of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to discuss the ongoing successful cooperation between the Ministry and the UN agency.

During the meeting, Minister Paata Salia and Anna Rich highlighted the close partnership between the Ministry of Justice and UNHCR, particularly in facilitating access to a wide range of services for stateless persons.

The parties also discussed the importance of sharing Georgia’s successful experience in reducing statelessness with partner countries. Special attention was given to the role of the State Services Development Agency in organizing specialized training programs for representatives of various government institutions.
