Bulgarian President Rumen Radev held talks with the President of Iran Hassan Rouhani and the King of Jordan Abdullah II in New York, where he is taking part in the 72nd session of the U.N. General Assembly.

The main talking points included security in the Middle East, expansion of the energy infrastructure connecting Europe with Asia, as well as the process of energy diversification in Bulgaria.

President Radev also held a meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart Petro Poroshenko who assured the Bulgarian head of state that the Bulgarian ethnic community in Ukraine will not be affected by the legislative changes which restrict mother-tongue study after the fifth grade at school. The two also discussed the idea of a visit to Sofia by the Ukrainian minister of education for specifying the best possible way of protecting the Bulgarian interests.
