Georgia will host the annual meeting of the Asian Development Bank in May 2021, - said the Minister of Finance, Ivane Matchavariani, at a briefing following a government meeting.

He said, this decision was made by the Board of Governors of the Asian Development Bank.

“We can already say with certainty that in 2021 the Asian Development Bank will hold its annual meeting in Georgia. You may remember that the 2015 Annual Meeting of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development was held in Tbilisi, which was very important for our country, but the Asian Development Bank Annual Forum is much larger in terms of both the number of participants and the events that will take place within the Annual Meeting,” - said Ivane Matchavariani.

He said, that a special delegation would arrive from the bank's head office in the near future and the task force would begin serious preparations for organizing this important event.
