I believe that allied relations between Bulgaria and the US will continue to develop for the benefit of our peoples and based on our common interests and high responsibilities for promoting global peace and security. This is stated by Head of State Rumen Radev in a congratulatory address to US President Donald Trump, in which he wishes him and the American people health and success on the occasion of the country's Independence Day - July 4.
In his letter, the Bulgarian President expresses satisfaction with the upward development of the strategic partnership between Bulgaria and the US, and also shares his belief in the continuation of the fruitful interaction between the two countries in all key areas of cooperation, in the interest of the Bulgarian and American people. As priorities, the head of state highlights the promotion of bilateral trade and investment, the development of cooperation in the fields of security and defense, energy, high technologies and artificial intelligence, and contacts between the citizens of the two countries.
Rumen Radev also notes the importance of achieving results on key issues on the shared agenda, such as the inclusion of our country in the US Visa-Free Travel Program, which would bring a new strong impetus to the Bulgaria-US strategic dialogue for the benefit of both countries.
