Ukraine, Bulgaria to hold business forum and strengthen cooperation in tourism – Kuleba

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said this at a joint press conference with Bulgarian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ekaterina Zakharieva in Kyiv on September 17, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"We agreed to hold a business forum in Bulgaria, which will bring together Ukrainian and Bulgarian businessmen. We agreed to intensify political contacts between our countries at all levels," Kuleba said.

The parties signed a plan of consultations between the Foreign Ministries and agreed to create a format for interaction in the field of tourism, because more and more Ukrainian tourists visit Bulgaria, and Ukraine would like to develop this format.

Kuleba stressed that Bulgaria is a reliable friend and partner of Ukraine on its way to EU and NATO membership.

He recalled that Bulgaria supports Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty. "For us, this is an important manifestation of solidarity against the background of Russia’s aggression against our country," the Ukrainian minister noted.

Bulgaria's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ekaterina Zakharieva made a working visit to Ukraine on September 17.
