Ambassador: Georgia Plays Key Role in Securing Global Energy

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Georgia’s Ambassador to Indonesia, Tornike Nozadze, stated that Georgia plays a key role in facilitating reliable and diverse routes, thereby contributing to global energy security.

“Georgia plays a key role in facilitating reliable and diverse routes, which contribute to global energy security,” said Nozadze in an exclusive interview with the ANTARA News Agency in Jakarta on Tuesday.

Amid global turbulence hindering global energy supplies, Georgia offers alternative routes to strengthen regional connectivity and stability through the South Caucasus, which is increasingly important as an energy route and transportation corridor connecting Europe and Asia.

“We are committed to strengthening infrastructure, promoting regional cooperation, and ensuring stability along these corridors,” he said.

In the current evolving global landscape, Georgia also prioritises partnerships based on mutual respect, shared interests, and commitment to international norms.

Although Euro-Atlantic integration is one of Georgia’s priorities, it is also open to expanding cooperation with partners across Asia, the Middle East, and beyond—including dynamic countries like Indonesia.

Georgia has and will continue to offer diversification, one of which is through its oil and gas pipelines via the Caspian Sea flowing to Europe.

“So, if we talk about energy, particularly hydrocarbons, Georgia offers a very good alternative for Europe and the whole world in the current situation,” he said.

Georgia, according to Nozadze, will become an even more important country in terms of transporting hydrocarbons and other forms of energy worldwide, along with its neighbours Azerbaijan and Armenia.

As evidence, he pointed to the joint EU-Georgia project, which will install a high-voltage cable in the Black Sea Basin, passing through Georgia to the whole world, offering clean energy and clean electricity to its partners and neighbours.
