Bulgaria's Economy Minister Petar Dilov met with Egyptian officials in Cairo to talk up partnership opportunities, hitting meetings with Deputy PM Kamel al-Wazir and Defense Minister Abdul Majid Saqr. The countries are eyeing deeper ties in cars, military manufacturing, and shipping ahead of their diplomatic centennial anniversary. Egypt already ranks as Bulgaria's biggest trade buddy across the Middle East and African markets.
Defense trade between the two nations has been climbing lately, and both sides want to expand collaboration on weapons tech and knowledge sharing. Ten Bulgarian defense contractors showed up at the EDEX expo, where Dilov pitched to Egypt's minister on visiting the Hemus defense show happening in Plovdiv. Ambassador Deyan Katrachev tagged along for the talks.
