Georgian president to visit Azerbaijan

Georgian President Giorgi Margvelashvili will be visiting Azerbaijan for two days next week, the Georgian embassy in Azerbaijan said Friday.

It will be Margvelashvili's first visit (Feb 12-13) to neighbouring Azerbaijan since becoming president. It will focus on prospects of cooperation between the two neighbouring countries and several regional issues, Xinhua reported.

Margvelashvili, a close ally of ruling Georgian Dream coalition leader and former Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili, won a landslide presidential election in Georgia in October 2013.
