2019年CRI 中国和保加利亚双边关系更进一步

At Wednesday's meeting, Xi Jinping and Rumen Radev jointly¹ announced the decision to lift China-Bulgaria ties to a strategic partnership².

Xi Jinping said he hopes there will be more room for greater cooperation between the two sides.

"Mr. President sees China a priority in Bulgaria's diplomacy³ and has actively⁴ pushed forward bilateral⁵ cooperation. I highly appreciate that. Bulgaria was one of the first countries to establish diplomatic relations with New China. Traditional friendship between the two countries has been carried forward over the past 70 years. Upon the 70th anniversary of the establishment of our diplomatic relations, we lift state-to-state ties to a strategic partnership. I hope that the two countries take it as a new starting point, work together to cope with the test of international changes and inject new impetus⁶ into bilateral cooperation."

Xi Jinping called on both sides to strengthen exchanges and join hands to safeguard the international system based on multilateralism and the international law.

Bulgaria is also one of the first Central and Eastern European countries to join the Belt and Road Initiative.

Xi Jinping called for efforts to further align⁷ the two countries' development strategies, promote infrastructure⁸ connectivity, expand trade and cement people-to-people exchanges.

As the new EU leadership is looming⁹ on the horizon, Xi Jinping reiterated¹⁰ China's support for the European integration¹¹ process, EU's unity¹² and its bigger role in global affairs.

He also called on the new EU institutions to work with China for a closer partnership, hoping Bulgaria continues to play a constructive¹³ role in this regard.

For his part, Radev suggested Bulgaria could become a gateway¹⁴ and hub connecting Europe and Asia, and said he expects the two sides to expand cooperation across the board.

He also reaffirmed his country's commitments to multilateralism and cooperation between Europe and China.

Wednesday's meeting was part of Radev's five-day visit to China that started on Monday.

He earlier attended this year's Summer Davos in Dalian.

During his time in Beijing, the visiting president also laid a wreath at the Monument to the People's Heroes at Tian'anmen Square.

周三，习近平主席同保加利亚总统鲁门·拉德夫举行会谈，两国元首一致决定，将中保关系提升为战略伙伴关系。

习近平表示希望能有更大的空间来加强双边合作。

“总统先生将中国视为保加利亚优先伙伴，并积极推动双边合作。对此我深表感激。保加利亚是最早同新中国建交的国家之一。两国建交70年来，传统友谊得到继承和发扬。在两国建交70周年之际，希望双方以两国关系提升为战略伙伴关系为新起点，携手应对国际风云变幻的考验，为中保合作注入新动力。”

由于欧盟新领导层即将上任，习近平同时重申，中方坚定支持欧洲一体化进程，坚定支持欧盟团结，坚定支持欧洲在国际事务中发挥更重要作用。
