Exhibition "Diplomacy Through The Hearts Of Two Peoples. 110 Years Of Diplomatic Relations Between Bulgaria And Spain"
From 4 to 29 October 2021 in the representative space on the 7th floor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be shown the exhibition "Diplomacy Through The Hearts Of Two Peoples. 110 Years Of Diplomatic Relations Between Bulgaria And Spain”, the result of the excellent cooperation between the State Archives Agency and the Embassy of the Kingdom of Spain in Bulgaria.
Shown for the first time in the exhibition hall of the State Archives Agency in Sofia, in November 2020, the exhibition traveled in 2021 to Veliko Tarnovo (March), Plovdiv (April), Varna (June), Burgas (July) and is currently in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the assistance of the State Institute for Culture.
The documentary exhibition covers the history from the opening of the respective diplomatic legations and honorary consulates, the signing of trade and economic agreements between the countries to official visits and political and diplomatic contacts. Important points that led to lasting current relations are included, which to date are based on mutual belonging to the European institutions.
The exhibition shows - in unison with the title "Diplomacy Through The Hearts Of Two Peoples" - how social, human, cultural and emotional ties date back to before the official establishment of diplomatic relations. We see how the literature, language and other artistic activities of writers, historians, translators, journalists, artists, teachers - Bulgarian and Spanish - have served as a conduit for the mutual interest in the history and culture of the two countries.
The initiative is implemented by the State Institute for Culture under the Minister of Foreign Affairs and aims to activate the representative space on the 7th floor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs by visiting mobile (poster or photographic) exhibitions from diplomatic missions, cultural institutes and regional museums, galleries. The visit to the exhibition will take place after pre-registration on tel. 02 903 0641, due to the need to comply with anti-epidemic measures.
