Relations between Israel and Bulgaria are strong, frutiful and ever evolving, said Israeli ambassador to Sofia Shaul Kamisa-Raz Saturday.

In an interview for the Bulgarian National Radio, Kamisa-Raz underscored that ties between the two countries have entered into a very dynamic period.

The ambassador spoke ahead of a government visit headed by Bulgarian PM Boyko Borisov to Israel, during which the cabinets of the two countries are to hold a joint sitting.

"The international positioning of Bulgaria is good within the EU context. But Bulgaria also has very good ties with countries in the Middle East, both Arab countries and Israel," said Kamisa-Raz.

"Bulgaria and Israel stand together in the Middle East processes," stated the envoy.

He added that the two countries must deepen their already thriving cooperation in the field of trade, culture, science and education, agriculture, and security.
