British Minister of State for Trade Policy Greg Hands stated in Sofia that he was in Bulgaria to discuss ways to expand bilateral trade with representatives of the government and of Bulgarian and British businesses.

Greg Hands is visiting Sofia just days after Prime Minister Boyko Borissov’s meeting with British Prime Minister Theresa May in London, where he stated he expected Great Britain to continue to be Bulgaria’s strategic partner after Brexit. Brexit will be a main talking point during the Bulgarian Presidency of the Council of the EU during the first six months of next year.
