The leadership of the Bulgaria-China Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCCI) visited the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) and met with its President, Mr. Tsvetan Simeonov, to discuss the development of trade and economic relations between Bulgaria and China.

Mr. Simeonov shared that the appointment of a new ambassador of Bulgaria in Beijing is an important step for the development of bilateral relations. Both sides stressed the need to speed up the procedure for appointing a new head of the Trade and Economic Office of Bulgaria in Beijing and to enhance the cooperation between regions of China and Bulgaria.
Mr. Dinev reiterated that many European countries such as the Netherlands have numerous trade representatives in China.He also pointed out that very few Bulgarian products are currently sold in China and none of them are high-tech. Dr. Ivo Ganchev added that the Bulgarian exports to China should develop in the direction of high-tech products. He also emphasized the importance of exchanging students and scientific potential in order to do business.
The meeting was part of the regular dialogue and cooperation between BCCI and BCCCI, which aim to promote the interests of the Bulgarian business community and to facilitate the trade and investment opportunities with China.
