Border Security: “Our continued partnership with Bulgaria to combat mass illegal migration and transnational crime, exepmlifies how law enforcement cooperation makes both our countries and the region safer.”
Regional Security: “Bulgaria plays a critical role in defending NATO’s eastern flank. You are promoting security in the Black Sea Region and sharing the burden as a very capable NATO ally. We are thrilled that the last of your first tranche of F-16s will be arriving imminently. Aquisition of F16 – the backbone of NATO allied air power – as well as the Stryker capability that you have taken on, are major milestones in Bulgaria’s military modernization and we are very proud to be your partners in that effort. We stand ready to support your continued efforts to develop the capabilities you need to secure Bulgaria and meet your NATO obligations.”
