The delegation of the Ministry of Culture of Bulgaria is in St. Petersburg on the occasion of the Days of Bulgarian Spiritual Culture in Russia.
A. Prokhorenko noted at the meeting that such initiatives could provide the basis for new contacts between the two countries. Taking into account the current state of Russian-Bulgarian relations, cultural dialogue can become an important component of regional cooperation. Our city will be glad to welcome the initiatives of Bulgarian cities which have formalized the relations - Varna and Plovdiv.
M. Todorov described the activities of the Days of Spiritual Culture, and thanked St. Petersburg citizens for their interest in Bulgarian exhibitions and concerts. This gives a good opportunity to expand the St. Peresburg program for the future Bulgarian projects.
The parties expressed their intention to support the establishment of direct contacts between cultural institutions of St. Petersburg and Bulgaria. The schedule of the Days of Bulgarian Spiritual Culture in Russia is posted on the website of the Ministry of Culture of Russia.
