Balgarianovinite.com Bulgarian President Iliana Iotova met Greek President Konstantinos Tasoulas on the sidelines of the Eighth Summit of the European Political Community, which opened in the Armenian capital of Yerevan on Monday, the President’s press secretariat said in a statement.
“We are confident that the new government in Bulgaria will continue the good cooperation between Greece and Bulgaria and build upon it,” Tasoulas told Iotova.
Among the main topics of discussion was the diversification of energy sources in the context of global tensions and military conflicts. Iotova expressed hope that the Vertical Gas Corridor, which will ensure supplies of natural gas from various sources to the countries of Southeast, Eastern, and Central Europe, will be one of the most successful European projects of the past decades. Bulgaria will complete the section of the project on its territory by fall of 2026.
Tasoulas emphasized that the Vertical Gas Corridor has not only energy and economic significance but also political significance. The initiative will also contribute to both regional and European energy stability, the statement further notes.
Iotova thanked the Greek government for its assistance during the height of the conflict in the Middle East by providing missile defence for Bulgaria.
We are on the same page with Greece within the European Union. We share the same positions on the Multiannual Financial Framework regarding the new philosophy that will largely reshape the Common Agricultural Policy and Cohesion Policy, Iotova said, quoted by her press secretariat.
President Iotova is visiting Yerevan to take part in the summit on May 3 and 4. The forum, which brings together nearly 50 heads of state and government, is under the motto “Building the Future: Unity and Stability in Europe.” The Summit is co-chaired by European Council President Antonio Costa and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. For the first time, a non-European guest country, Canada, participates, represented by Prime Minister Mark Carney.
On Sunday, May 3, the head of State held meetings with Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturyan and Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
