About us
Dear Visitors,
Dear Compatriots and Friends of Bulgaria,
Welcome to the official website of the Embassy of Bulgaria in Helsinki, representing the Republic of Bulgaria in Finland.
Bulgaria and Finland share a history of friendship that spans over a century. We honor and remember the Finnish soldiers who took part in the Russo-Turkish Liberation War of 1877–1878, recognizing their courage and sacrifice.
The ties of mutual respect and friendship between Bulgaria and Finland have grown even stronger through their shared membership in the European Union and NATO. Our mission is to deepen political dialogue, expand trade and economic cooperation, attract more Finnish tourists to Bulgaria, strengthen the cultural and educational exchange and foster closer understanding and connections between our peoples.
There are also promising new opportunities for collaboration in innovative fields such as communication technologies, artificial intelligence, science, and research.
An indispensable priority of our diplomatic mission is the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of Bulgarian citizens living in Finland, supporting their unity, and maintaining their connection to Bulgaria.
We sincerely thank the Bulgarian community organizations and all our compatriots and friends of Bulgaria who preserve the Bulgarian language, traditions, spirit, and cultural values, and who actively promote Bulgaria’s heritage, culture, and contemporary achievements.
On our website, you will find up-to-date information about Bulgaria, bilateral relations with Finland, embassy and Bulgarian community events, consular announcements, and more.
You can also follow the embassy’s activities on Facebook and X.
We hope you find the information here interesting and helpful. Your suggestions, feedback, and ideas are always welcome.
