For the second year in a row, Georgian Dream government officials have not been invited to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the government administration confirmed to Civil.ge, adding that it had not planned to attend the event.
This year’s World Economic Forum runs from January 19 to 23 under the theme “A Spirit of Dialogue” and will bring together political, business, and civil society leaders from around the world.
Georgia was last represented at the forum in 2024, when then-Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili attended the event one month before leaving office.
After the widely disputed October 2024 elections and Georgian Dream’s subsequent November decision to abandon the EU accession process, followed by mass protests and a crackdown, Georgia was no longer invited to Davos in 2025.
Georgia’s absence from major Western political and economic venues has since continued amid deteriorating relations with its traditional Western partners and Georgian Dream’s growing international isolation.
In 2025, Georgian Dream officials were also absent from the Munich Security Conference. Salome Zurabishvili, whose term as Georgia’s fifth president had already expired, attended instead.
For his first official visit of 2026, Georgian Dream Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, accompanied by several cabinet ministers, visited the United Arab Emirates and participated in Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week on January 13-15.
