Diplomatic Relations
Diplomatic relations between Bulgaria and South Korea were established on March 23, 1990. This marked a significant shift as Bulgaria had previously only maintained diplomatic relations with North Korea during the Cold War. The establishment of these relations was driven by the desire to foster political, economic, cultural, and social ties. Over the years, the relationship has been strengthened through high-level visits and bilateral agreements. The closest cooperation has been in trade, with South Korea being a significant partner for Bulgaria in Asia.
