Bulgarian President Rumen Radev will pay a working visit to the Federal Republic of Germany on August 27 and 28, the press service of the head of state announced. In Berlin, Rumen Radev will meet with his counterpart, President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.


At the invitation of the CEO of Europe's largest defense concern "Rheinmetall", Armin Paperger, President Rumen Radev will participate in the official opening ceremony of a high-tech plant in Unterlüss, Lower Saxony.


The Bulgarian state's visit to Germany is a continuation of the meeting between Rumen Radev and Armin Paperger during the Munich Security Conference in February this year, at which specific areas for investment and industrial cooperation with the Bulgarian defense industry and science were identified. As a result of this meeting in March, Armin Paperger visited Bulgaria at the invitation of the Bulgarian head of state and met with leading representatives of the defense industry and the executive branch at the presidential institution.


At the end of July, the Minister of Economy and Industry Petar Dilov presented a concept for the creation of a joint venture between Bulgaria’s largest armaments factory and Rheinmetall.
