On October 19, 2026, local time, Bulgarian President Yotova met with member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Sofia. Yotova asked Wang Yi to convey sincere greetings to President Xi Jinping, saying that Bulgaria and China have long been friendly, and that Bulgaria is the second country to recognize the new China. In 2019, Bulgaria and China established a strategic partnership, and exchanges between the two countries continued to develop on the basis of equality and mutual benefit. The Chinese side admires China's remarkable achievements in various fields such as artificial intelligence, technological innovation, environmental protection, and improving people's living standards. The Bulgarian side will continue to pursue the one-China policy. In October of last year, I went to China to attend the Global Women's Summit and reached a broad consensus with China on the next stage of cooperation. Foreign Minister Wang Yi's visit is a good opportunity to deepen the relationship between Bulgaria and China, help to closely communicate and coordinate, and promote future cooperation. The two sides are stepping up planning for next year's high-level contacts, hoping that bilateral relations will reach a new level. The Baoxin government has a strong will to accelerate the development of cooperation with China, and has also received widespread support from the public. The Bulgarian side looks forward to opening direct flights with China as soon as possible, deepening economic and trade cooperation between the two sides, and helping personnel exchanges and cultural exchanges between the two countries. The Bulgarian side hopes to expand cooperation in the fields of agriculture, science and technology, education, and new energy sources. The Bulgarian side is in agreement with China on the political settlement of conflicts. It is hoped that China will continue to play an important role in maintaining world peace, and is willing to strengthen cooperation with China in this regard.
