Our country’s foreign policy fully corresponds to and is a continuation of its home policy — a policy of an all-round upsurge along the road of socialism and of intense economic and cultural development, a policy whose aim is to improve the well-being of the people. In the past sixteen years our people have scored enormous achievements in the fields of industry, agriculture, construction, education, science and culture- achievements which have radically transformed our country. 90. Bulgaria's mutual relations with the other socialist countries develop in an excellent way mid in the spirit of complete unity and understanding. They grow increasingly closer and stronger on the baps of fraternal friendship, co-operation and mutual assistance in our common socialist cause. Following the line of friendship and co-operation with all nations we maintain diplomatic, economic and cultural relations with many countries in the world. In this respect we attribute an exceptional importance to our relations with the Balkan States and make consistent efforts to consolidate peace in the Balkans.
