Bulgaria National Association for the Belt and Road

Bulgaria National Association for the Belt and Road was practically implemented in April 2017. The idea for this was born and formulated at the international conference “China-CEE Political Parties Dialogue”, held in Budapest in October 2016.

The founding members of the Association encompass political and public figures, businessmen and scientists, prominent representatives of Bulgarian arts, culture, education, law, etc.

The association addresses the importance of people-to-people exchange in order to achieve a long-term and sustainable success and underline that besides multilateral political dialogues, other platforms are needed to bring the societies closer to each other, to learn about each other's culture and to strengthen mutual understanding. That is why a leading concept from the first days of the Association has been the understanding that its scope will not be limited to the economic and trade spheres, but will also cover the broader field of scientific, technological, cultural, educational, tourist, e-commerce, construction, transportation and infrastructural cooperation.
