"On behalf of the United States, please accept my best wishes to the Bulgarian people on the occasion of the 146th anniversary of the Liberation of Bulgaria."
This is what US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said in his statement on the occasion of Bulgaria's national holiday - the 3rd of March. "The United States deeply values over 120 years of diplomatic relations with Bulgaria. Our partnership, based on shared democratic ideals, contributes to the peace and prosperity of both countries and contributes to the unity and security of Europe and the transatlantic community," the statement, published on the US State Department website, added.
"We recognise Bulgaria's commitment to deepening integration into European institutions, ensuring energy security and economic viability, and strengthening its partnership with NATO allies. We stand united in our efforts to support Ukraine and its people as they struggle to defend their country and their freedom from Kremlin military aggression. I look forward to a future partnership for a more secure, prosperous and just future for our two freedom-loving nations," wrote Anthony Blinken. / BGNES
