"Every Japanese investment is valuable to us, but not only because we want you to invest in Bulgaria. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is for the successful Japanese business model to come to Bulgaria, because for us Japan is the real working example of a successful economy," the president said at the forum.

JETRO President Susumu Kataoka said that he visited Bulgaria in October 2024 and more and more Japanese companies are interested in business contacts with the country.
