Minister Prodanov had a meeting with Bulgarian Jews and their descendants

The Minister of Tourism will also try to organize routes of the memory which are related to our history and our friendship with Israel.

The Minister of Tourism Hristo Prodanov had a meeting with 40 Bulgarian Jews and descendants of emigrants, who are currently visiting Bulgaria. Before I became a minister, I was a Deputy Chairperson of a group for establishing friendship with Israel in the Bulgarian Parliament. The emigrants from Bulgaria and their descendants are respected in Israel as hard-working, honest, responsive and generous people. I am very determined to extend the relations between us because our history has made our peoples very close”, said Minister Prodanov.

He said that Israel is a very important and prospective partner of our country. We expect that all the efforts made will strengthen our good cooperation and will increase the number of tourists between the two countries, added Minister Prodanov.

In 2022, we will mark the seventy-ninth anniversary of the rescue of the Bulgarian Jews. The Minister of Tourism will try to organize routes of the memory, which are related to our history and our friendship with Israel. This was said at the meeting by Deputy Minister Mariela Modeva.

The former ambassador of Israel in Bulgaria David Cohen said that such routes will be useful for the Jews born in Bulgaria and their descendants who are so keen on their belonging to their home country.
