China is interested in investments in Bulgaria, particularly in infrastructure, railways and tourism, Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski informed.
Oresharski was in China for a work visit, held between September 8 and 12. He presented the above information after meeting with the Chairman of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China Li Keqiang. In addition to the expressed investment interest, Li Keqiang asked for equal treatment of Chinese companies in Bulgaria. The meeting was held in the State residence in the suburbs of the city of Dalian. Oresharski stressed upon the great disposition of his Chinese hosts towards Bulgaria, announcing that he has invited Chinese business representatives for a visit to learn firsthand the investment opportunities offered by the country.
The Bulgarian PM was in China to attend the so-called "Annual Meeting of the New Champions" AKA "The Summer Davos," and was one of the six Prime Ministers to take part in it. Oresharski had the opportunity to share his ideas and his vision during a discussion entitled "New Beginning for Europe," in the presence of his counterparts from Belgium, Finland, and Malta. The foremost business gathering in Asia within the framework of the World Economic Forum for 2013 took place in Dalian.
