Head of State Rumen Radev congratulated Karol Nawrocki today in a telephone conversation on his inauguration as President of the Republic of Poland. Rumen Radev emphasised the traditional friendly relations between the two countries and expressed his expectation that the excellent and productive dialogue at the highest level will continue to deepen during Karol Nawrocki's term of office. 

 

The possibilities for bolstering bilateral economic exchange and promoting investment were among the highlights of the conversation. The growing number of Polish tourists in Bulgaria and the increasing interest among Bulgarian students in Polish universities were also mentioned.

 

The two presidents noted the profound historical and spiritual ties between Bulgaria and Poland, as well as the significance of the initiative to declare February 14 as the Day of Bulgarian-Polish Friendship and Cooperation. The date is dedicated to the work of Saints Cyril and Methodius and their proclamation by Polish Pope John Paul II as co-patrons of Europe.

 

The Bulgarian head of state highlighted Poland's experience in modernising its armed forces as a positive example and pointed out our country's interest in deepening the partnership in this area, including in the maintenance of the Bulgarian fighter aviation.

 

During the conversation, topics from the European and international agenda were also put to debate.

 

President Karol Nawrocki invited Rumen Radev to visit Poland to continue the top-level bilateral dialogue.
