The Consulate General of Bulgaria in New York hosted an emotional Bulgarian evening. On the occasion of Bulgaria’s Independence Day, dozens of Bulgarians and their families met with the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mariya Gabriel, the press center of the department informed.

"A charging and cordial meeting with the Bulgarian community in New York on the occasion of Bulgaria's Independence Day. History, culture, talents - thank you for the warm welcome and shared experience," Mariya Gabriel wrote later on Facebook.

In the greetings of both the Deputy Prime Minister and the Consul General of Bulgaria in New York, Angel Angelov, special attention was paid to the successes of Bulgarian diplomacy, which made possible the Declaration of Independence of Bulgaria 115 years ago.
