As you approach your national holiday, celebrating independence from the Ottoman Empire, it is now demanded that you roll out the red carpet and gather rose petals for the arrival of Le Grand Emperor Jacques Napoleon Chirac. However, I understand your president advised the French ambassador not to expect a gilded carriage. Bravo!
The US does very little business with Bulgaria. That's too bad, and will be changed, no doubt - and more US visitors too - once things settle a bit. I think your businesses should find a good reception here, particularly with the friendship you have offered.
