The first two days of #SelectTalentUSA have been very productive! I had the pleasure of meeting Arun Venkataraman, Assistant Secretary of Commerce, alongside US Ambassador to Georgia, HE Robin L. Dunnigan. Assistant Secretary reaffirmed US support for Georgian businesses scaling in the US. For the first time, we have a large delegation from Georgia with 47 companies, including several startups pitching to diverse audiences. The SelectUSA Investment Summit is vital for Georgian companies, offering exposure and networking opportunities for growth. Looking forward to the upcoming engaging sessions and meeting with attendees! #Georgia #USGeorgiaRelations #SelectUSA #InvestmentSummit #Startups #BusinessGrowth

🇬🇪📚Following the success at SFPL, we are excited to announce that Georgian books are now available at the San José Public Library! I am excited to share the opening of the first Georgian section at San Jose Public Library. In partnership with the National Parliamentary Library of Georgia and Georgian Heritage Foundation, we have curated a collection of Georgian literature, history, and culture, available in both Georgian and English. The inaugural ceremony was celebrated with San José City Librarian Jill Bourne and honored by Mayor Matt Mahan. This initiative enriches the library's multicultural offerings and strengthens our cultural ties, supporting the Georgian community in San Jose and beyond. Visit and explore this unique collection at the San José Public Library.

🇬🇪 San Francisco City Hall illuminated in red and white commemorating Georgia’s Independence Day!

🇬🇪 Today, we proudly raised the Georgian flag at the City Hall of San Francisco. It was an incredible honor to see the San Francisco City Hall recognize Georgia and its people by flying our national flag. By the Mayor's decision, May 26 was proclaimed as Georgian-American Friendship and Heritage Day. I am deeply grateful to the Mayor, Chief of Protocol, and the entire team at @SF City Hall for their unwavering support and friendship. A heartfelt thanks to all the Consuls General, representatives from the Foreign Mission office and Governor's office, and all of Georgia's friends here in California who came out to honor this day and celebrate with us. #May26 #IndependenceDay #ესდღეჩვენია #SanFrancisco #GeoConSF

As the Consul General of Georgia, I attended the 98th Capitol Summit and Host Breakfast, hosted by the California Chamber of Commerce and the Sacramento Host Committee.

Grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a dynamic exchange of ideas. Looking forward to further collaboration between Georgia and California.
