The relations between the two countries are strong and the cooperation - fruitful, and when Bulgaria became a member of the EU in 2007 our relations strengthened even more because, in the modern world of globalization of the economy, Bulgaria became for us a door to Europe. We implement economic projects with Bulgaria that strengthen our friendly relations and I hope that our cooperation will continue to develop fruitfully", said the Indian Ambassador to Bulgaria.
