A delegation from Japan's Digital Agency, led by Parliamentary Vice-Minister for Digital Transformation Hideto Kawasaki, visited Georgia and held a meeting with representatives of the Ministry of Justice of Georgia. Deputy Ministers of Justice Lana Morgoshia and Tamar Zodelava briefed the Japanese delegation on the reforms implemented by the Ministry of Justice regarding the accessibility and digitalization of services. The discussion also covered the Ministry's operational priorities and significant innovations implemented in Georgia in the development of public services. It was noted at the meeting that to provide public and private services nationwide, 127 Public Service Halls, oriented toward user needs, are available, and 20 mobile Public Service Halls serve 90 villages to overcome geographical barriers. Services are also accessible in Public Service Halls opened within penitentiary institutions. More than 400 public and private services can be obtained through the unified electronic services portal MY.GOV.GE, and a "Smart Contract" system is in operation, which uses artificial intelligence to provide a remote means of registering private property. Attention was focused on the systemic land registration reform implemented in the country, which has achieved international success. According to the World Bank, the Georgian model of systemic land registration is exemplary on a global scale, and the National Agency of Public Registry has high potential to provide expert support to other countries. Within the framework of the reform, the National Agency of Public Registry carried out surveying work and registration of property rights for land plots free of charge for citizens in 59 municipalities across the country. The meeting was attended by Keti Sarajishvili, Head of the Department of International Relations and Legal Cooperation of the Ministry of Justice; Vakhtang Zhvania, Chairperson of the Public Service Hall; Rusudan Kokhodze, Chairperson of the Public Service Development Agency; and Sandro Tsirekidze, Chairperson of the Digital Governance Agency.
