On the occasion of the National Day of the Republic of Bulgaria, the Embassy of the Republic of Bulgaria in the Republic of Finland organized a solemn reception, which was held on March 3rd, 2025. The official event took place at the Rock Church in Helsinki (Temppeliaukio Church) - one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city. The church is frequently used as a concert venue due to its excellent acoustics created by the rough, virtually unworked rock surfaces.

The reception was attended by the Ambassadors and Chargé d'Affaires of the embassies of the EU Member States in Finland, heads of diplomatic missions of other countries accredited in Helsinki, representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland, military, teaching staff of the Bulgarian Sunday School "ABV", the Finnish-Bulgarian Friendship Society, the Honorary Consul of the Republic of Bulgaria based in Turku, representatives of the Bulgarian community in Finland and businessmen.

The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Bulgaria to the Republic of Finland Mrs. Nina Simova welcomed the guests, emphasizing in her speech the historical basis of Finnish-Bulgarian relations and their modern development.

The cultural program of the event included a magnificent performance of Trio Wladigeroff - Ekaterina, Alexander, and Konstantin, heirs of the legendary Bulgarian musical family. They performed a special program of selected works by Jean Sibelius, Pancho Wladigeroff and original compositions by the Trio, offering a mesmerizing journey through generations of artistry. The magnificent performance of Trio Wladigeroff attracted attention and had a strong impact on the guests. Ambassador Nina Simova received exceptional feedback and thanks for the well-organized event and the wonderful concert.
