Sofia’s South Park II hosts the fifth edition of the Asian Festival dubbed “United in Diversity”. The event attracts a large Bulgarian and international audience and becomes a true celebration of Asian cultures. The festival is organized by the embassies of China, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, India, Mongolia and Vietnam, with the support of the Ministry of Tourism.
"With the Asian Festival, we are sending a strong message – for peace and opportunities for our children to fulfill their dreams, and for a peaceful old age for the elderly. We want a hand extended in greeting and friendship, not wars and destruction", said Vice President Iliana Iotova at the opening of the cultural forum.
"The Asian Festival is not just a cultural event, but also a clear sign of our country’s openness to partnerships with Asian countries. Through such partnerships, we demonstrate our readiness to work together and to expand tourism exchange. Bulgaria has much to offer visitors from Asia – history, nature, culture and hospitality", said Minister of Tourism Miroslav Borshosh.
