TOKYO (Kyodo) — Bulgarian President Rumen Radev and Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen will each visit Japan later this month to attend the World Exposition in the western city of Osaka, the Japanese Foreign Ministry said Wednesday.
During their respective five-day visits — starting Saturday for Radev and next Wednesday for Van der Bellen — they are scheduled to meet with Emperor Naruhito and Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, the ministry said.
Last year, Japan and Bulgaria marked the 115th anniversary of the start of official exchanges and the 85th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations, which had been severed for 15 years from 1944, according to the ministry.
