For the first time in years, Bulgaria has a positive trade balance with China. For the first 3 months of the year, Bulgarian exports have increased by 11% and Chinese imports fell by 21%. This gives us optimism that we can export more merchandise to China, Lachezar Dinev from the Bulgarian-Chinese Chamber of Commerce told the BNR. 

In the conditions of the Covid-19 crisis, the chamber will organize a virtual exhibition of Bulgarian goods. 
According to Dinev, the Chinese industry will start thinking about exporting its productions, because it has seen that in the conditions of a pandemic it has closed and isolated itself from the world. That is why Bulgaria must attract Chinese investments, the chamber members believe.
