Europe and Asia have achieved quite a lot together. Over the past 10 years we have managed to double the volume of our bilateral trade. However, in order to deepen our partnership, we need even stronger ties between our two continents at all levels - governments, businesses and also among the people. This is what President Rosen Plevneliev said in the statement he made at the 11th summit of heads of state and government of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM), which opened today in the capital of Mongolia Ulan Bator.

Bulgaria attaches considerable importance to its partnership with Mongolia and will continue to work to strengthen the country’s cooperation with the EU. This is what President Rosen Plevneliev said at a meeting with his Mongolian counterpart Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj. In March 2015 the Bulgarian National Assembly ratified the Framework Agreement on Partnership and Cooperation between the EU and Mongolia, which, in the Head of State’s words, will bring more pragmatism in the bilateral trade relations as well.

Bulgaria and Vietnam are determined to capitalize on the potential of the active political dialogue on all levels and to start developing their bilateral relations. Our country can use Vietnam as a “stepping stone” to enter the ASEAN markets and Bulgaria can act as a doorway for the Vietnamese business to the EU. This was the common position shared by President Rosen Plevneliev and Nguyen Xuan Phuc, prime minister of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, who held talks in the capital of Mongolia Ulan Bator. The Bulgarian Head of State is on a working visit to Mongolia to take part in the meeting of the state and government leaders of the member-states of the Asian-European Meeting (ASEM).
