At a meeting in New York with the Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs James O'Brien, Bulgarian caretaker Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivan Kondov raised the issue of Bulgaria's inclusion in the United States Visa Waiver Program.
The lifting of visas will not only demonstrate the strategic nature of relations between the two countries, but will also bring significant benefits to the economy, security and tourism, the minister pointed out.
At the meeting of foreign ministers in the G-7+ format in New York, Ivan Kondov has assured that Bulgaria will continue to provide assistance for the energy sector of Ukraine given the intensifying Russian attacks against the country's energy infrastructure ahead of the upcoming winter heating season. "President Zelensky's peace formula remains the only reliable peace format for achieving a just and lasting peace," the Bulgarian foreign minister said in his speech.
