Vasil Gelev, director of the Association for the Promotion of Agricultural Cooperation between China and the CEE Countries (APACCCEEC), said the Bulgarian stand would be opened on Aug. 25.

The Shanghai free trade zone is a successful model of trade and entrance of foreign companies into the Chinese market, he said in a press briefing.
