President Ram Nath Kovind Tuesday arrived in Bulgaria on the second leg of his three-nation visit to Europe to continue India's high-level engagements with the European countries.

President Kovind arrived in the capital Sofia from Cyprus where he met his Cypriot counterpart Nicos Anastasiades and held wide-ranging talks.

"President of India President Kovind and First lady arrived in Bulgaria on their second leg of three European countries visit. Mr Ivo Hristov, Deputy Prime Minister of Bulgaria received them at airport," External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said in a tweet.

Kovind is the fifth Indian President to visit Bulgaria and the first in 15 years.

From Bulgaria, he will fly to Czech Republic on the final leg of his three-nation trip.

This is his first overseas state visit in the second year of his presidency.
