Bulgaria is seeking to deepen economic ties with Poland and attract more Polish investment, with Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy, Investments and Industry Alexander Pulev stating that Sofia aims to develop its economy along the lines of the Polish model.
Speaking in Gdansk during a meeting with the Gdansk Business Club, held alongside the International Conference on the Recovery of Ukraine, Pulev emphasized that investment is now a national priority for Bulgaria and that Poland is considered a key strategic partner.
He pointed to Bulgaria’s geographic position as a major advantage, highlighting its role as a link between Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as the transport, energy, and digital corridors running through the country. He added that Bulgaria is already building a stronger framework for industrial cooperation with Poland, describing the relationship as one with significant untapped potential.
Trade between the two countries has already reached 3.2 billion euros, while Polish investments in Bulgaria exceed 650 million euros, according to figures cited during the meeting. Pulev also praised Poland’s economic development, referring to its achievement of a 1 trillion US dollar GDP and long-term growth during its transition period.
