The Deputy Prime Minister also highlighted the rapid development of the relations between our country and China – for ten years the Bulgarian export to the Asian state has increased six times, which makes it the second most important trading partner outside the European Union. Bulgaria sees the perspective in an even more intensive development of the investment process between the two countries, whereby it expects that the realized Chinese investments in sectors such as telecommunications and agriculture will be expanded towards the sectors of logistics and transport, machinery, outsourcing, information technologies, etc.
