“The Bulgarian National Assembly will help lobby the Parliaments of other EU countries to ratify this Agreement soon so that it will take effect and create a solid legal framework for EU businesses, including Bulgarian and Vietnamese businesses to strengthen bilateral investment cooperation for mutual benefit,"  Hue said, adding "Based on the recent fruitful cooperation, we firmly believe that the relationship between the two parliaments will be raised to new heights, contributing to the friendship and multi-faceted cooperation between Vietnam and Bulgaria and aiming to celebrate the 75th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic relations in 2025.”
