The partnership between Bulgarian dairy company LB Bulgaricum and the Japanese dairy corporation Meiji is important for the development of the Bulgarian-Japanese cooperation. Bulgaria desires to continue the good relations and to deepen the partnership, said caretaker Economy and Industry Minister Petko Nikolov. He held a meeting with representatives of the Japanese company Meiji, who are visiting Bulgaria, the press center of the Ministry reported here on Wednesday.
Minister Nikolov introduced the new Executive Director of LB Bulgaricum, Zhivko Zhivkov, and assured the representatives of the Japanese company that the fruitful cooperation will continue in the future, in view of both sides’ interest.
The Japanese side's proposal to establish a new joint research laboratory in Sofia was also discussed during the meeting. The future laboratory will focus on the development of new projects and the exploration of new common markets, as well as on venturing into other sectors. The project was proposed two years ago, but there was a delay in its implementation on the Bulgarian side, the Japanese representatives pointed out. The project was also discussed on December 4, 2023, at a meeting of former Bulgarian Economy and Industry minister Bogdan Bogdanov with senior Meiji officials.
ELB Bulgaricum Executive Director Zhivkov said that they will continue to work on the agreement to establish a joint research institute in Sofia.
