President Rumen Radev has sent a letter to President Cyril Ramaphosa expressing his gratitude for the decision of the Republic of South Africa to lift visa requirements for short-term stays for Bulgarian citizens.

Radev pointed out that this is a strategic decision that will encourage contacts between citizens and expand business partnerships between the two countries. He noted the importance of the high-level talks held during the official visit of the Bulgarian President to South Africa in May 2023.

“I am particularly happy that you are now taking an important step in this direction,” President Radev said and renewed his invitation to President Ramaphosa to pay an official visit to Bulgaria.
