External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar is scheduled to visit Bulgaria and Finland on June 10-11, as announced by the Ministry of External Affairs. In Bulgaria, he will engage with the country’s leadership and hold discussions with his counterpart.
Following his visit to Bulgaria, the Minister will proceed to Finland on June 11 to participate in the 14th edition of the Kultaranta Talks.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had previously congratulated Rumen Radev and the Progressive Bulgaria party on their victory in the parliamentary elections. This gesture aimed to reinforce the bonds between India and Bulgaria and enhance cooperation between the two nations.
The relationship between India and Bulgaria has a long history marked by warmth and friendship. Despite political changes over the years, both countries have maintained a strong and multi-dimensional relationship. The ties have been nurtured by people-to-people connections and cultural exchanges that predate the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1954.
