Bulgaria's Defense Minister Anyu Angelov is heading on a state visit in Israel for talks with his counterpart Ehud Barak.
Amid reports of a terror threat to Israeli tourists in Sofia, Bulgarian Defense Minister Anu Anguelov will arrive in Tel Aviv on Sunday for talks with Defense Minister Ehud Barak, The Jerusalem Post reported Friday. Angelov's visit to Israel has not been confirmed by the Bulgarian Defense Ministry yet.
The Jerusalem Post points out that since the deterioration in its ties with Turkey, Israel has looked to bolster its alliances with Bulgaria, Greece, Cyprus and Italy. Barak held talks with his Cypriot and Greek counterparts this past week during meetings in Tel Aviv and Athens.
Barak and Bulgaria's Angelov will discuss ways to increase defense cooperation between the countries and to add content to a memorandum of understanding the two ministers signed in January 2010.
In 2010-2011, Israel has emerged as Bulgaria's new strategic ally. After an unprecedented joint sitting of the Cabinets of Bulgaria and Israel in 2011, the PMs of the two nations Boyko Borisov and Benjamin Netanyahu announced Bulgaria and Israel are going to sign agreements for close cooperation in defense.
Bulgaria and Israel signed several bilateral agreements in fields such as economy, agriculture, and culture; bilateral deals in defense, however, are still being hammered out.
