South Korea has opened an embassy in Georgia, 23 years after the countries establish diplomatic ties, Seoul's foreign ministry said Saturday.
The embassy in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi opened on Tuesday, one day after the countries marked the 23rd anniversary of establishing diplomatic ties.
One diplomat will be permanently stationed there with the South Korean ambassador to neighboring Azerbaijan concurrently serving as the chief of the South Korean mission in Georgia, a member of the former Soviet Union, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Georgia opened its embassy in Seoul in 2011.
As of end-2014, about 50 South Koreans were staying in Georgia, the ministry said. (Yonhap)
