Bulgaria's government on Wednesday gave the green light to Antigua and Barbuda to open a honorary consulate in Sofia.

Law professor Ivan Todorov will act as honorary consul of the Carribean island nation.

The appointment of a honorary consul is expected to enhance contacts with Antigua and Barbuda and contribute to the development of bilateral relations in areas of mutual interest, the government said in a statement.
