President Rumen Radev Discusses Prospects for Deepening Bulgaria's Ties with US and Israel with Representatives of Jewish Organisations in NYC

President Rumen Radev discussed the prospects for deepening Bulgaria's ties with the United States and Israel at meetings with representatives of Jewish organisations in New York. The Head of State highlighted high technologies, economy, energy and security as particularly important areas for the development of the partnership, where many projects are being developed that contribute to Bulgaria's modernisation. During the meetings, representatives of Jewish organisations expressed their appreciation for the active role of the Bulgarian head of state in strengthening this country's relations with the US and Israel.
The rescue of Bulgarian Jews during the Second World War is a moral lesson that the world needs today. The fight against discrimination, hate speech and anti-Semitism requires united efforts and highlighting positive examples such as Bulgaria's noble deed in the darkest years for Europe, was the common position of the participants in the meetings. Some of the representatives of the Jewish organisations shared personal or family stories that are part of the unique act of Bulgaria's achievement that not a single Bulgarian citizen of Jewish origin was sent to the death camps or killed in this country.
President Rumen Radev highlighted the national program with which under his patronage this country celebrates the 80th anniversary of the rescue of its Jewish community of 50,000 people during World War II. The head of state invited the representatives of Jewish organisations to visit Bulgaria to commemorate the 80th anniversary or to participate in various initiatives and business forums that would contribute to deepening economic ties with Bulgaria.
