Lebanon to Pour Cash in Bulgarian Resorts

Lebanon is ready to invest in Bulgaria's tourism, while Bulgarian companies may bid for infrastructure and real estate projects in the Arab country. This emerged after yesterday's meeting of Bulgarian PM Boyko Borissov and his Lebanese counterpart Saad Hariri.
Saad Hariri emphasized he would encourage the businessmen in his country to invest in projects in Bulgaria, as the EU country offers good investment opportunities.
On his part, PM Borissov said that the Hariri are an old and much respected family, and when a Hariri guarantees for a particular country, the Arab world is open for it.
"
We will work to restore our traditionally good relations with the Arab countries, which have been somehow neglected over the past two decades,"
he added.
During their meeting yesterday, Hariri and Borissov agreed to start a direct airline between Lebanon and Sofia.
"
A direct airline between two countries is a sign for the positive development of their bilateral relations,"
Borissov said also.
From the balcony of his office Borissov showed his guest how a church, a mosque and a synagogue coexist in perfect harmony in the very heart of Sofia.
