Bulgaria and South Korea have been discussing for a few months now a major investment of about $ 1 billion and $ 500 million to open an electric vehicle battery plant in our country.

Negotiations are expected to begin on the participation of our country in the production program for T-50 light fighter-training fighter jets, which are a joint production between South Korea and the American company Lockheed Martin, a supplier of F-16 fighter jets to Bulgaria.

The interest of South Korean business in Bulgaria is increasing. Direct investments from South Korea to Bulgaria amount to EUR 213 million, which places it among the 30 countries with the highest investments in Bulgaria.

There are 249 companies with Korean participation in Bulgaria. The turnover between the 2 countries for 2018 is growing by almost 50%.

In the course of his visit, Borissov will meet with Prime Minister of the Republic of Korea  Lee Wan-koo and President Moon Jae-in.
