The Foreign Ministers of Bulgaria and Brazil have issued a joint declaration on the occasion of the visit of the highest ranking ever Brazilian state official to Sofia.
Bulgaria’s Nikolay Mladenov and his Brazilian counterpart Celso Amorim, who became Brazil’s first ever Foreign Minister to visit Bulgaria, agreed Wednesday that the bilateral relations are friendly and fruitful but that they must be developed much further.
They have seen Amarim’s visit to Sofia as a positive development, the declaration explains.
“The meeting of the two foreign ministers was an opportunity to exchange opinions contributing to the better understanding of the regional and global problems for whose resolving Bulgaria and Brazil have to work in the interest of the international community,” reads the joint declaration.
“The two foreign ministers have agreed on the position that the partnership between Bulgaria and Brazil can play a positive role for developing the economic, social, and cultural potential of Southeast Europe as well as for boosting regional cooperation between the Balkans and South America,” states the Mladenov-Amorim document.
The declaration accounts for the mutually beneficial relations between the two states and for the need to expand the cultural and commercial exchange. Mladenov and Amarim have agreed to accelerate the talks for signing bilateral economic cooperation agreements and for joint initiatives in all other areas of mutual interest.
