"Australia Day in Sofia has become a platform where business and culture met, opening up new opportunities for cooperation," said Joanna Kehlibarova, chairperson of BABC. "This event epitomizes our commitment to expanding relations and opening up new opportunities between the two countries."

The event highlighted Australia's role as a significant economic partner and innovation leader, opening the door to opportunities for future collaboration in various fields. Within the framework of the visit of the Australian ambassador to the country, a meeting is organized in the Bulgarian parliament with the parliamentary group for friendship with Australia.
