Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili will visit Ukraine next year but he is not scheduled to meet with Ukrainian government members from former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili's team.

"I do not wish to meet them either in Ukraine or in Georgia. The appointment of those individuals was the choice of the Ukrainian government," Garibashvili said at an annual press conference on Friday.

He said that the visit to Ukraine was being prepared but its time would be announced at a later date.
