President Ram Nath Kovind on Thursday met Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov here and invited companies from the Balkan nation to manufacture in India as part of the ambitious 'Make in India' programme.
Kovind arrived here on Tuesday from Cyprus on the second leg of his eight-day three-nation visit to Europe to continue India's high-level engagements with European countries. From Bulgaria, he will fly to Czech Republic.
"President Kovind meets PM Borissov of Bulgaria; calls for stronger bilateral relations; invites Bulgarian companies to come and manufacture in India as part of the 'Make in India'programme," the President's Secretariat tweeted.
The bilateral trade between India and Bulgaria stands at just over USD 300 million.
Referring to the trade volume, Kovind on Wednesday said at the India-Bulgaria Business Forum, "This falls way below the potential. I am confident that a lot more can be done together if we drive deeper into each other's economies and look for prospects. I am certain your deliberations today would be most productive on that account."
