After a meeting with Iran’s Vice-President Eshaq Jahangiri, Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov announced that Bulgaria had been offered participation in a new transport corridor that includes Iran, Armenia and Georgia.

Prime Minister Borissov stated that even now Bulgaria was ready to take part in a new transport route via its ports in Varna and Bourgas, which can be used for transmitting gas. The Bulgarian Prime Minister admitted that ties with Iran had been severed over the past decades, but added that after the embargo was lifted, the two countries are now able to revive them. Vice-President Jahangiri on his part pointed to the petrochemical industry, energy sources, agriculture and tourism as possible cooperation spheres.
