The United States is a key strategic partner and NATO ally, with whom we will continue to work together to achieve our common goals — energy security, defense capabilities and investments, Bulgaria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Georg Georgiev said during a phone conversation with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The phone call took place less than a month after the two met during the NATO Foreign Ministers Meeting in Brussels and agreed to continue their dialogue, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Georg Georgiev and Marco Rubio discussed deepening cooperation in defense and nuclear energy. The two also discussed the strategic importance of the agreement with U.S. company Westinghouse for the diversification of nuclear fuel for the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant and Bulgaria’s overall energy security.
