CULTURAL COOPERATION BETWEEN CHINA AND GEORGIA UNDER THE BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE

Abstract

Georgia is among the first countries to join the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Within the framework of this initiative, cultural exchanges between China and Georgia have undergone significant development. Based on generalizations and examples, this article outlines the achievements of the two countries in various areas, including education, cultural ties, tourism, book publishing, and cinema. It is worth noting that in July 2023, China and Georgia officially elevated their bilateral relations to a strategic partnership, marking a significant milestone in the development of China–Georgia cooperation. In the future, within the BRI framework, collaboration between the two countries will become even closer, especially in the cultural sphere, which will contribute to the further deepening and development of bilateral relations.
