“Nigeria is a traditional trade and economic partner for Bulgaria in Africa to the South of the Sahara. There exist diverse opportunities and good prospects for cooperation in various spheres,” said Minister of Foreign Affairs Teodora Genchovska during the official visit to this country by her Nigerian counterpart Geoffrey Onyeama.
