According to the Bulgarian Prime Minister, cooperation between Bulgaria and the United States on the development of people-to-people contacts is of particular importance. According to him, various programs and initiatives aimed at widening the exchange among students, scholars and business representatives have made a significant contribution in this direction. As a positive trend, Prime Minister Borissov also noted that the number of US tourists in Bulgaria has been steadily increasing over the last few years.

During the conversation, Prime Minister Boyko Borissov was introduced to the main priorities of the US Embassy.
