By the way, in the field of medicine, Bulgaria and we have quite stable ties, as we receive many medicines, medicinal preparations from Bulgaria, as well as special medical devices, etc. I hope that this forum will contribute quite impressively to the development of economic relations between the two countries in this complicated period for Ukraine," said H.E.
