The Georgia Council for International Visitors, or GCIV, works with the U.S Department of State to host emerging world leaders on visits to Georgia. GCIV arranges professional meetings and also invites these visitors to enjoy dinner as a guest in an American home.
A home-cooked meal and some good-old fashioned Georgia hospitality always creates the best and most lasting memories of a young leader's visit.
Citizen diplomacy is an opportunity open to every citizen of State of Georgia.
GCIV has been building relations between the citizens of Georgia and the rest of the world, one handshake at a time, for over fifty years.
