Bulgaria's Foreign Minister, Georg Georgiev, on January 21, held his first telephone conversation with the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of the European Union, Kaja Kallas.

During the conversation, Bulgaria’s top diplomat assured of the country’s support for the High Representative’s efforts to maintain unity and build consensus within the EU, particularly in light of the current geopolitical challenges.

In this context, the Bulgarian Foreign Minister also underlined Bulgaria's commitment to a united and strong European Union, which should ensure the security and prosperity of its citizens, especially in light of the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.
