Bulgarian Foreign Minister Ekaterina Zaharieva has arrived on a two-day visit to Chisinau, Moldova.

Today, Minister Zaharieva is meeting with Moldova’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration Andrei Galbur. On 31 October the two will open a Bulgarian consular office in the town of Taraclia.

One of the biggest Bulgarian historical communities abroad live in Moldova. By a government decision, the region of Taraclia is a Bulgarian national-cultural centre. The only Bulgarian university abroad – the Taraclia State University – is situated on its territory. Under local law, ethnic Bulgarians in the region enjoy full rights to preserve and develop their cultural, spiritual and linguistic heritage.
