Bulgarian President Georgi Parvanov held talks early Friday with Australia PM Kevin Rudd in Canberra at the PM’s offices in Parliament House.
Parvanov and Rudd discussed the two countries’ role in Afghanistan and the the importance of ensuring Afghanistan doesn't again become a safe haven for terrorists. NATO's ongoing role in leading the international military presence in Afghanistan was also part of the leaders' discussion.
Nuclear disarmament was also a focus of the talks, with both saying that they looked forward to working together at the upcoming conference on disarmament next year, at which Bulgaria will hold the presidency.
Parvanov’s visit to Australia has been widely criticized in Bulgaria. The rightist ‘Blue Coalition’ even called on him to cancel his planned visit to Australia and New Zealand over the huge costs of the visit during a financial crisis.
