On January 16, Ambassador Beyrle and Foreign Minister Kalfin
signed the protocols exchanging the instruments of
ratification of the Additional Protocol to the Bilateral
Investment Agreement (BIT). Bulgaria's instrument of
ratification and the original signed protocols will be sent
via diplomatic pouch to EUR/NCE's Marc Nordberg. The
ceremony was well attended by journalists, though their focus
was more on the fate of the Bulgarian nurses in Libya rather
than the treaty. The treaty, protocol, and supporting
information on the BIT and the growing US - Bulgarian trade
and investment relationship can be found on Embassy Sofia's
website.
