 The Bulgarian Cabinet, led by Prime Minister Sergei Stanishev, on Friday approved a cooperative agreement with Saudi Arabia.| Boggle. I'm having difficulty parsing this vis-a-vis the French sellout to Libya and Libya's demand that the Arab League nations cut off relations with Bulgaria for pardoning the medicos. All I can come up with is a nuclear Libya and closer Soddy ties to the EUSR. Neither of which lets me sleep any easier. |
The Bulgarian-Saudi deal was inked during a recent visit by Bulgarian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Kalfin Ivailo to Riyadh on April 14th, the Bulgarian Cabinet Information Center said in a release.| The deal was signed three months ago. How will the Soddies deal with Libya's whingeing? |
The agreement constitutes a general framework for necessary legal rules for normalization of cooperative relations between Bulgaria and Saudi Arabia in the economic, trade, investment, educational, scientific, technological, cultural, tourist, youth and sports areas, according to the release. Both sides reached an agreement on a joint strategic network of overland, sea and air transport and communications with a view to facilitating the movement of trucks, goods and supplies between the European Union (EU) and Middle East. Pointing to the fact that Bulgaria is closer than other EU member countries to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the release said that both sides are willing to exploit this strategic geographical position. |
