During an official visit to Tokyo, Bulgarian President Rumen Radev and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba signed a declaration to raise relations between Bulgaria and Japan to the level of a strategic partnership, according to the Bulgarian News Agency (BTA).
President Radev was welcomed with military honours at the Japanese Prime Minister’s residence, followed by a high-level meeting between the two countries’ delegations. A joint press conference was scheduled as part of the official program.
The visit builds on recent bilateral momentum, as President Radev was also received on Monday by Japanese Emperor Naruhito during a 30-minute audience at the Imperial Palace. This marks Radev’s second visit to Japan after attending the Emperor’s enthronement ceremony in 2019.
Accompanied by a Bulgarian business delegation, Radev participated earlier today in a Bulgaria-Japan Business Forum, which gathered senior executives from 150 Japanese companies across multiple sectors. The event aimed to enhance economic ties and explore investment opportunities between the two nations.
