In his welcoming speech, the Bulgarian Prime Minister noted that the relations between Bulgaria and Greece are a strategic partnership based on mutual trust, shared values and common interest. “The two countries are a strong axis of stability and a guarantor of the European perspective of Southeast Europe. The vision and energy of the Prime Minister of Greece have made a significant contribution to all of this. Therefore, it is no coincidence that Mr. Mitsotakis was invited to my first high-ranking visit as a host“, said Rumen Radev.
