**New Ministers Nominated by Prime Minister**
The Georgian Prime Minister has announced three new ministerial nominees ahead of the country’s parliament session. The nominations were made on November 25.
Maka Botchorishvili, a former Chair of the European Integration Committee, has been nominated as the Foreign Affairs Minister. She will be responsible for overseeing Georgia’s foreign relations.
**Justice Minister**
Anri Okhanashvili, who previously chaired the parliamentary Legal Affairs Committee, is set to lead the Ministry of Justice. He will oversee the country’s justice system.
**Environment and Agriculture Minister**
Davit Songhulashvili, Chair of the Sectoral Economy and Economic Development Committee, has been nominated as the Environment and Agriculture Minister. He will be in charge of environmental and agricultural policies.
