Bulgaria, China sign agreement on mutual visa exemption

Bulgaria and China have signed an intergovernmental agreement on mutual exemption of visa requirement for holders of diplomatic and service passports.

The deal will allow Chinese holders of Schengen visas to enter Bulgaria.

“For Bulgaria, the partnership with the People’s Republic of China is crucial, I would say not only for the region of Asia but also on many global issues on which we have more enhanced dialogue,” Bulgarian Foreign Minister Nikolay Mladenov declared upon signing the agreement on Monday.
