Balgarianovinite.com Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivanka Tasheva represented Bulgaria at a meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council in its Development configuration held in Brussels on Monday, the Foreign Ministry said.
During the meeting, ministers discussed how international cooperation could promote sustainable growth in partner countries while advancing the European Union’s strategic interests. Talks also focused on strengthening the EU’s global role as a reliable and predictable partner.
“Development cooperation should be aligned with strategic priorities such as resilience, connectivity, energy security, migration management and economic stability. For Bulgaria, a stable and prosperous European neighbourhood remains a leading priority,” Tasheva said.
Ministers also discussed the role of EU’s Global Gateway strategy in the bloc’s external action. The initiative aims to mobilize public and private resources for sustainable investments in key sectors worldwide.
Tasheva voiced Bulgaria’s support for attracting more private investment, improving business access, including for small and medium-sized enterprises, and strengthening links between the Global Gateway initiative and EU external instruments. She also stressed the need for closer coordination among EU institutions and national stakeholders within the Team Europe approach.
The ministers also reviewed the global implications of the conflict in Iran, focusing on energy, transport, food security, migration and changes to the international order.
