克里稱全力支持保加利亞安全與民主

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says the United States is "deeply committed to Bulgaria's security, prosperity, and the health of its democratic institutions."

美國國務卿克里表示，美國“全力支持保加利亞的安全、繁榮及其民主體制的健康” 。

Kerry, who is on his first trip to Sofia as Secretary of State, made the comment in a joint news conference with Prime Minister Boyko Borisov. He also met with President Rosen Plevneliev and foreign Minister Daniel Mitov, discussing diversification of Bulgaria's energy resources, defense cooperation, and bolstering the rule of law.

克里首次以國務卿身份訪問保加利亞。他在與鮑裏索夫總理舉行的一次聯合記者會上發表上述講話。克里還會晤了普列夫內利耶夫總統和米托夫外長，就保加利亞能源多樣化、防務合作以及強化法治等問題交換意見。

A senior State Department official said earlier that Bulgaria’s "significant" energy dependence is on the agenda because of Russia’s cancellation of the South Stream pipeline project last month.

美國國務院一名高級官員早些時候說，由於俄羅斯上個月取消了南溪管道項目，因此保加利亞對能源的高度依賴是克里與保加利亞官員討論的議題之一。
