They said that China's development experience is worth learning from, and they hope to strengthen cooperation with China to achieve mutual benefit and win-win outcomes.
"I want to say that in recent years, China has been a very important partner for us. Bulgaria highly respects China. China has a history of thousands of years and a splendid culture. The impressive achievements China has made in the fields of economy, science, and technology in recent years are truly remarkable," said Bulgarian President Rumen Radev.
"Very very important for all of us. And we wish you all the best. We look forward to your cooperating with you and working with you at all levels and in all spheres.

Revolution-themed tourism, which refers to visiting historical sites with a modern legacy of the Chinese revolution leading to the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, has attracted more young people so far in the week-long National Day holiday that started on October 1, as many museums and scenic spots have adopted cutting-edge technologies and introduced interactive experiences, injecting new vitality into the preservation and development of "red culture".
"Red culture" refers to the "red legacies" and "red spirit" that have emerged during China's revolution, construction and reform under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, in order to achieve national independence, economic progress, cultural prosperity and national rejuvenation.
The large-scale "red culture" live-action drama "Hong'an Always Red", made its debut during the National Day holiday in Hong'an County of Huanggang City in central China's Hubei Province -- a leading revolutionary base of the CPC in the 1930s.
The production combines real-life props with sound, lighting, and special effects to create an immersive interactive experience.
"Compared to traditional red dramas, it offers a stronger sense of technology and immersion. It allows us, as people living nowadays, to feel as if we were crossing back into that era. I believe our life today is truly hard-won," said Ruan Hongying, a tourist.
Bringing red culture to life has become a common goal for many scenic spots rich in red cultural resources. In Xianfeng County, Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of Hubei Province, during the National Day holiday, many visitors used VR panoramic experience stations to immerse themselves in classic scenes from the Long March of the Red Army.
In Yudu County of Ganzhou City, east China's Jiangxi Province, the large-scale red cultural and tourism epic "The First Crossing of the Long March" is spectacularly performed at the Long March assembly site. Audience members are able to experience an immersive journey through time, reliving the heroic and turbulent years of that historic era.
The Long March was a strategic operation undertaken by the CPC-led Red Army when being pursued by hordes of Kuomintang (KMT) troops between 1934-1936.
The 12,500-kilometer march began with over 80,000 soldiers in Ruijin and Gucheng in Jiangxi Province, and ended in Yan'an in northwest China's Shaanxi Province.
In Zibo City of east China's Shandong Province, at the 618 Wartime Radio Station Red Education Base, numerous visitors venture into the deep, dark tunnels to experience that unique period of history.
"I think it is incredibly meaningful for me to visit a Chinese revolution-themed education base during the National Day holiday. I was deeply moved by the spirit of perseverance and hard work of the people at that time, which inspires us young people to forge ahead and keep advancing," said Cui Yujiao, a tourist.
