President Giorgi Margvelashvili appointed three new ambassadors to Canada, Kazakhstan and the Republic of Korea.
Konstantine Kavtaradze, who served as Georgia’s ambassador to Sweden and Finland in 2011-2015, was appointed as the ambassador to Canada and the Permanent Representative to the International Civil Aviation Organization.
Zurab Abashidze, former leader of the Free Democrats, will take the ambassadorial post to Kazakhstan.
Georgia’s new ambassador to the Republic of Korea will be Otar Berdzenishvili, who until recently was Georgia’s ambassador to Brazil.
“All three candidates are experienced professionals. We are convinced that this step will contribute to deepening bilateral relations with these countries and to increasing Georgia’s visibility,” President Margvelashvili’s Foreign Affairs Secretary Tengiz Pkhaladze stated after the meeting of the President and the three diplomats on January 30.
