Bulgarian and Romanian companies could join hands to export foods, electronics, machines and textile outside the EU, Economy Minister Bozhidar Lukarski has told Romania's Ambassador to Bulgaria Anton Pacuretu.

"A main obstacle posed to the presence of Bulgaria goods and services on the markets of North Africa, the Middle East and China is for instance the impossibility to satisfy the demand in general. A joint effort with Romania would make this possible by giving a significantly bigger role of our countries on the international markets," Lukarski was quoted by Investor.bg as saying.

Ambassador Pacuretu for his part replied Romanian companies "were feeling well" in Bulgaria, adding the two countries need coordination and regional solidarity and should be treated as a single entity while pursuing their goals at a European level.
