Bilateral co-operation and opportunities for deepening ties between Bulgaria and China were discussed at a meeting of Vice President Iliyana Yotova and China's new Ambassador to Bulgaria, Mr. Dong Xiaojun.

In 2019, Sofia and Beijing celebrate 70 years since establishment of diplomatic relations. China assesses highly Bulgaria's role in the "16 + 1" initiative as well as in EU-China relations, Xiaojun said. The prospects for China's investments in this country were also a focus of discussions. Last year Bulgaria was visited by over 300 Chinese business delegations. The Ambassador thanked for Bulgaria’s support for the successful functioning of the Confucius Institute and was impressed by the great interest of Bulgarians in studying Chinese language.
