Seeking new opportunities to promote the partnership between Bulgaria and Armenia in the economy, tourism and education was discussed at a meeting today between President Rumen Radev and the visiting Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia, Ararat Mirzoyan. This year the two countries mark 30 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, but the strong spiritual and friendly ties between Bulgarians and Armenians date back centuries, it was stressed at the meeting.
The two concurred that the consolidation of stability and the expansion of transport connectivity in the Black Sea region and the Caucasus was key to boosting investment. According to Minister Mirzoyan, the opening of a direct air link between Sofia and Yerevan could turn Bulgaria into a transport hub for Armenia and facilitate the implementation of various transport projects.

During the meeting, the sides also discussed the sustainability of the process of strengthening stability and security in the Caucasus region, as well as the role of the European Union and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe in this respect.
