NATO Secretary General: Bulgaria is a valued Ally
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg welcomed Bulgarian President Rumen Radev to NATO Headquarters on Tuesday (31 January 2017). Mr. Stoltenberg praised Bulgaria’s contributions to the Alliance – including troop commitments in Kosovo and Afghanistan, and providing ships to NATO patrols in the Black Sea. He noted that plans for an enhanced NATO presence in the Black Sea region will be finalised at February’s meeting of defence ministers, calling this “a strong sign of NATO solidarity”.
