Bulgarian Ambassador to India Petko Doykov today said his country was following closely the 'Make in India' initiative and was keen to be a part of the programme which is aimed at making India a global manufacturing hub.
"India is on focus for good reasons. We are closely monitoring the Indian policies like Make in India. We want a place in it," Doykov said during a programme at the Merchants' Chamber of Commerce.
He said that Bulgaria would like to collaborate with Indian companies with technology transfer in sectors like defence where the country possessed expertise.
Bulgaria is also pursuing with the Environment Ministry its participation in the clean Ganga drive, but nothing has emerged till now, Doykiv said, adding that his country is also interested in smart city projects.
"I have been following up with the Environment Ministry on the clean Ganga drive, but so far nothing has emerged," Doykov said.
Make in India initiative was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 25, 2014 which is aimed at making India a global manufacturing hub besides creating millions of jobs in the country.
