Bulgaria should be much more proactive in the current crisis with the regime of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi in order to build new strategic partnerships, according to former Bulgarian Foreign Minister Solomon Passy.
Passy told Novinite.com (Sofia News Agency) that a more active role on part of Bulgaria in the efforts to impose on Gaddafi the no-fly zone and sanctions mandated by the UN Security Council could only benefit the country, referring to Operation Odyssey Dawn currently carried out by the several Western countries with some Arab states expected to join in...
In 2002-2003, thanks to Bulgaria's role as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council we managed to generate close relations with the USA and this helped a lot for Bulgaria's accession to NATO in 2004, which in turn helped for our accession to the EU in 2007. It also helped us to have joint facilities with the US armed forces on Bulgarian soil, and then to attract unprecedented American investments. There is no reason why Bulgaria should not use the present situation to establish a similar close strategic partnership with France, even outside the frameworks of NATO and the EU," stated Passy emphasizing the leadership role of France and French President Nicolas Sarkozy in the current Libyan crisis.
