The Bulgarian government attaches great importance to its relations with China, and hopes that more and more Chinese enterprises invest in the country, Bulgarian Prime Minister Sergei Stanishev said Wednesday.
Stanishev made these remarks during a meeting with Chinese Ambassador to Bulgaria Zhang Wanxue Wednesday afternoon.
The Bulgarian government hopes that the two countries would further strengthen bilateral cooperation in fields like politics, economy, culture and education. As a member of the European Union (EU), Bulgaria would actively promote cooperation between China and the EU, Stanishev said.
Bulgaria was the second country in the world to recognize the People's Republic of China when it was founded in 1949, which demonstrates a genuine friendship between the two countries and their peoples. Bulgaria always upholds the one-China policy, and will not change this policy in the future. Bulgaria opposes the Taiwan authorities' attempts to seek UN membership through a referendum, Stanishev said.
Zhang Wanxue congratulated the Bulgarian government on its achievements in various fields and on the country's accession to the EU. He said that China would further expand cooperation with Bulgaria in fields like politics, economy and trade.
