To mark the occasion a ceremony took place in the garden of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at which the blue flag of the United Nations was raised to the sound of the hymn to the UN and the national anthem of Bulgaria. The flag will remain hoisted for one year, alongside the flags of Bulgaria, the EU and NATO.

Dr. Jane Muita, UNICEF representative in Bulgaria laid emphasis on this country’s major contribution to the UN’s efforts to implement the principles underlying the Charter of the United Nations.
