STORYLINE:

A presentation about east China's Jiangxi Province was held at the China Cultural Center in the Bulgarian capital Sofia on Wednesday.

The event attracted representatives of Bulgarian media circles, tourism businesses, and other professionals.

Ye Jianchun, governor of Jiangxi Province, said he sincerely hoped that the event provided a new opportunity and a new starting point to bring exchanges and cooperation to a new level.

According to Ye, bilateral exchanges and cooperation have continued to expand and the friendship between people continued to deepen especially since Jiangxi and Sofia District officially established twinning relations in December 2020.

Julian Lekov, governor of Sofia District, said that he and Ye signed on Wednesday morning an agreement reaffirming the desire for partnership between Sofia District and Jiangxi Province.

Lekov said that the agreement laid the foundation for a future partnership between five of the municipalities in Sofia District and Jiangxi Province.

Chinese Ambassador to Bulgaria Dong Xiaojun, who also attended the event, said he sincerely hoped that the event would boost bilateral people-to-people and cultural exchanges, and advance economic and social cooperation and development between the two countries.

On the sidelines of the event, representatives of China's Jiangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and of Bulgaria's Multi-Profile Hospital "Uni Hospital" based in the town of Panagyurishte near the capital Sofia signed a cooperation agreement.
