The two discussed the deep and flourishing relations between Israel and Bulgaria
Ambassador Yossi Levy Sfari held a productive meeting with the Minister of Culture of Bulgaria, Marian Bachev. The two discussed the deep and flourishing relations between our two nations. Bulgaria and Israel share a rich history of cultural and historical ties, which continue to inspire new opportunities for cooperation in the fields of art, cultural heritage, and mutual understanding.
During the meeting, both parties reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening cultural ties, preserving shared history, and promoting new initiatives that bring our peoples closer together. A key focus of the discussion was the invaluable contribution of Jewish heritage to the cultural landscape of Bulgaria and the importance of preserving and restoring these historical sites as a testament to our shared past and values.
In this context, the ambassador emphasized the need for attention to the condition of Jewish cultural monuments in the country, especially synagogues, which deserve proper preservation and recognition as an integral part of the country’s rich historical mosaic. We are convinced that through active dialogue and joint cooperation, we can work together to preserve these valuable testimonies for future generations.
