South Korea's Prime Minister Kim Hwang-sik is arriving to Bulgaria on a three-day visit, the Bulgarian Council of Ministers announced Sunday.

Kim Hwang-sik will arrive in Sofia on September 26. The following day, he will have meetings and a joint news conference with his Bulgarian counterpart Boyko Borisov.

Kim and Borisov will sign an agreement for mutual recognition of each country's driver's licenses, and will then open a Bulgarian-Korean business forum.

On September 28, Kim will be welcomed by Bulgarian President Georgi Parvanov. He will then visit the National History Museum and the Boyana Church in Sofia as well as the Old Town in Plovdiv.

Kim's visit will be the second visit to Bulgaria by a South Korean Prime Minister, after the first visit by one of his predecessors Han Myeong-sook in 2006.

The other highest-ranking visit in the bilateral relations was the 2009 visit in South Korea by Bulgarian President Georgi Parvanov.

Bulgaria and South Korea established diplomatic relations in 1990.
