The highlight of the first official visit by an Indian Foreign Minister to Tbilisi since Georgia’s independence from the Soviet Union in 1991 was India returning the relics of Georgia’s revered holy martyr Queen Ketevan. Georgia’s key geo-strategic location at the junction of Europe and Asia, its role in the transit of trans-continental energy, and its positive economic outlook make it an attractive partner. There exist multiple areas where India and Georgia can collaborate. While its blueprint appears to be in place, the litmus test would be the continuance of the momentum generated by Dr. Jaishankar’s visit, writes Dr. Roy.
