European Commissioner Johannes Hahn Visits Georgia

Johannes Hahn, European Commissioner for Neighborhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations, is paying an official visit to Georgia.

Within the scope of the visit, Hahn is set to hold a meeting with Mikheil Batiashvili, Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of Georgia, as well as students from the countries of the Eastern Partnership.

The European Commissioner, along with the Georgian government officials, including Minister Batiashvili, Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia and the Mayor of Tbilisi Kakha Kalaldze, will put a symbolic capsule on the site of the new European School of Eastern Partnership which is planned to be built at Lisi Lake by 2023. The ceremony will be followed by the joint statement of Hahn and PM Gakharia.

The European School of Eastern Partnership is a large-scale project of the European Union, supported by the European Commission, which is to be the first school launched beyond the EU boundaries, targeting students from the Eastern Partnership states and offering internationally recognized European quality educational programs.
