Odesa regional administration head Mikheil Saakashvili has departed for the U.S. to present the region's investment opportunities to international investors.

"I am presenting the Odesa region's investment opportunities to international investors in New York. Odesa has a lot of advantages, in particular, a very well-educated and talented population and an amazing tourism potential, and we will guarantee investors' protection from extortions and racket, which has obstructed economic growth so much until lately," Saakashvili said on Facebook on Friday.

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko had granted Ukrainian citizenship to his adviser and former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili and appointed him head of Odesa Regional Administration in May.
