President Macron stated that investments in both directions will increase in the coming months, and President Radev – that Bulgaria’s upcoming Presidency of the Council of the EU can further France’s proposals on the future of Europe and its views on a European joint defence industry.

At a meeting in Paris with the Bulgarian head of state, European Space Agency Director-General Johann-Dietrich Woerner stated that in its capacity of a European cooperating state, Bulgaria is able to avail itself of the infrastructure and the services of the agency to put through its space projects.
