Fukushiro Nukaga, Speaker of Japan’s House of Representatives, has arrived on an official visit to Bulgaria, public service TV BNT reports. With an official ceremony at the Monument to the Unknown Soldier in Sofia, he was welcomed by the President of Bulgaria’s National Assembly Raya Nazaryan. The two laid a wreath at the monument and honoured the memory of all people who have laid down their lives for the freedom of Bulgaria with a minute of silence. 

Fukushiro Nukaga and Raya Nazaryan held a meeting at the historical building of the National Assembly where the speaker of the Japanese House of Representatives signed the official guest book.

The talks between President Rumen Radev and Fukushiro Nukaga focused on attracting more Japanese investment, deepening economic cooperation and promoting tourism. The energy, electronics, robotics and automotive industries, in which Bulgaria has seen significant development in recent years, were identified as promising areas.  "Japan is Bulgaria's priority and like-minded partner in the East Asian region, and the Japanese people are friendly to Bulgarians," the president emphasised.
