Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze has begun an official visit to Budapest, strengthening Georgia’s diplomatic outreach and expanding cooperation on European urban development.
The two-day visit includes high-level political meetings as well as participation in a major conference on the future of European cities. According to Tbilisi City Hall, Kaladze will meet Hungary’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Peter Szijjártó, to discuss bilateral relations and new areas of partnership. The meeting comes at a strategically important time, as Georgia seeks to deepen ties with European Union member states while navigating regional challenges in the South Caucasus.
The Mayor will also address a European urban development conference, where city leaders and experts share strategies for modern mobility systems, sustainability, and long-term city planning.
Tbilisi’s participation is expected to support ongoing reforms, especially in transport modernisation and smart-city development. Alongside Kaladze, members of the Georgian Parliament and Nino Bagashvili, Head of Tbilisi’s Transport and Urban Development Agency, are part of the delegation.
The visit also carries wider regional relevance. With the South Caucasus facing political and security tensions, stronger cooperation with European partners helps Georgian institutions access expertise, investment channels, and planning support. Improved urban development is increasingly linked to economic resilience and long-term stability.
Potential outcomes of the visit include strengthened diplomatic relations, new urban development initiatives, and deeper integration of Tbilisi into European municipal networks, boosting Georgia’s broader European trajectory.
