Before the start of the forum, a bilateral business forum is held today in Shanghai in which 36 Bulgarian companies are looking for new contacts and partnerships in the sectors of Wine Production, Agriculture, Production of Roses, Cosmetics, and Tourism. Borissov agreed with the mayor of Shanghai, Yang Xiong, that Bulgaria’s capital city Sofia and the Chinese megalopolis should become sister cities.
