The strategic North-South and East-West connectivity was discussed at a meeting between Minister of Transport and Communication Georgi Gvozdeykov and US Ambassador to Sofia Kenneth Merten.

The two officials agreed that Bulgaria's efforts to develop transport links with neighbouring countries contribute to the economic development and security of the entire region.

They discussed the development of Corridor 8 from the Black Sea to the Adriatic Sea and the implementation of the Sea2Sea multimodal freight corridor between Bulgaria and Greece. The project will provide a rail link between the Greek ports on the Aegean Sea, the Bulgarian ports on the Black Sea and the Danube river. The realisation of the corridor is important for North-South connectivity, especially in the current dynamic international environment, Ambassador Merten said.
