Norwegian Ambassador visits ISET, meets Norwegian and Georgian students
- Details
The Ambassador of Norway to Azerbaijan & Georgia, Bård Ivar Svendsen, was invited to speak to visiting Norwegian students who partook in a four-day visit to Tbilisi to attend an anti-corruption course jointly organized by ISET and NHH (the Norwegian School of Economics).
HE Svendsen drew attention to Georgia’s favorable investment climate, with an increasing number of foreign entities becoming interested in doing business in Georgia, which has consistently risen through the rankings of the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Index.
The ambassador put particular emphasis on Georgia’s excellence in combating corruption, and said that Georgia has outshone its neighbors with its many tangible results. He attributed Georgia’s success in this regard to the national mentality, which he claims is markedly different to those of other countries of the Caucasus; he also stated that this has led Georgia and Georgian society to become ‘more democratic’ than other nations of the region.
