PanARMENIAN.Net - Bulgarian President Rosen Asenov Plevneliev seeks strong high tech cooperation between his country and Israel, The Jerusalem Post reported.

Plevneliev, at a welcome reception at the official residence of President Shimon Peres on Monday, Oct 22, said that he was delighted so early in his presidency to be able to visit the Holy Land.

“Bulgaria has gone through highly dramatic changes in recent years and has opted to be a progressive democracy,” he said, being particularly keen for more intensive high tech cooperation given that Israel has a reputation for being one of the most advanced high tech nations in the world.

Plevneliev also invited Peres to be Bulgaria's guest of honor in Sofia next March when the country commemorates the 70th anniversary of its rescue of its Jewish population.
