The meeting was held on the sidelines of the 79th session of the UN General Assembly, the President's press secretariat reported Wednesday.

Radev underscored the opportunity for Oman to invest in the development of Bulgaria's digital infrastructure.

During the meeting, Radev highlighted the huge potential for the development of bilateral cooperation in a number of promising areas, such as high technologies, the construction of large data centers and energy, to which the exchanged visits of the energy ministers of the two countries contribute significantly.
