Bulgaria's defense minister on Tuesday said his country and Lebanon have achieved major strides towards strengthening bilateral defense cooperation.

The Bulgarian Telegraph agency quoted the minister, following his meeting with his visiting Lebanese counterpart Mohsin Dalloul, as saying that he proposed to the Lebanese sides several ways to foster military economic and medical cooperation.
