During the meeting, the parties exchanged views on opportunities to expand the long-standing friendly relations and cooperation between Mongolia and the Republic of Bulgaria.

The sides highlighted that Mongolia and Bulgaria marked the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations in 2025, and emphasized the need to further strengthen cooperation in various fields, including education, culture, economy, and trade. Bulgaria is one of the first European countries to have established diplomatic relations with Mongolia.

Both sides expressed their willingness to further promote exchanges in business, culture, and education, and agreed to work together to elevate bilateral cooperation to a new level.
