Georgia's Consulate General in New York serves the eastern United States, providing consular services to Georgian nationals and facilitating connections between the American business community and Georgia's emerging economy positioned as a gateway between Europe and Asia. The consulate supports New York's substantial Georgian diaspora community while promoting trade, investment, and cultural exchange between the United States and the South Caucasus nation. Under Consul General Maia Bartaia's leadership, the mission coordinates with American companies interested in Georgia's liberal investment climate, strategic Black Sea location, and preferential trade access to the European Union, Commonwealth of Independent States, and Middle Eastern markets through various free trade agreements.
