On November 14, 2024, the traditional International Food Fest, organized by the Society of Foreign Consuls in New York, took place. For the third consecutive year, the Bulgarian Consulate General took part in the event, which represented 16 countries from Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia and was attended by about 700 guests, including representatives from diplomatic circles and local authorities.

The guests tasted the delicious dishes of a Bulgarian restaurateur (Ma Mma Mila) and a high-quality Bulgarian wine, while enjoying Bulgarian folk dances performed by the folklore ensemble "Gorana dance" led by Elissaveta Yordanova.

The Executive Board of the Society of Foreign Consuls in New York, in which the Consul General of Bulgaria in New York Angel Angelov is a vice president, awarded an honorary diploma to the Turkish Consul General for the traditional hosting of the annual exhibition.

The Bulgarian participation in the international event was made possible with the support of the plan-program of activities of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bulgaria and the Bulgarian diplomatic and consular missions abroad in the field of public, cultural and digital diplomacy and strategic communications for 2024.
