The Republic of Korea this week opened an embassy in Tbilisi, capital of Georgia.

Georgia established an embassy in the Korean capital Seoul in 2011. Until now, bilateral diplomatic services in Georgia have been handled by the Korean Embassy in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Georgia received 5.6 million tourists last year and more than 4,000 Korean tourists traveled to Georgia on trekking, skiing, golfing and wine tours in 2013, according to koreaherald.com

The Korea Water Resources Corp. and Georgian Partnership Fund signed an agreement last year to develop a $1 billion, 280-megawatt hydropower station in Svaneti province in northern Georgia.

Korean conglomerates including Hyundai Motors, Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics have invested in Georgia, and small and medium-sized Korean companies, including Dohwa Engineering and Pyunghwa Engineering, are currently involved in energy and infrastructure projects, reports koreaherald.com
