SOFIA, July 16 (Xinhua) -- Bulgarian officials signed a memorandum on Wednesday to boost collaboration between the government and the country's defense industry.
The agreement aims to improve coordination between state institutions, science, and defense businesses.
Key goals include easing regulations, enhancing production and export capabilities, and increasing Bulgaria's involvement in international defense projects.
