Updated: 16-Dec-2004

BULGARIAN PRESIDENT, Georgi Parvanov, made an official state visit to Portugal recently, and trade between the two nations topped the agenda.

Now Dr. Parvanov has received the key to the freedom of the city of Lisbon from Câmara President, Dr. Carmona Rodrigues, following talks with President Jorge Sampaio.
