Bulgaria's Japanese Embassy returned to Tokyo on Thursday, after having been temporarily evacuated on March 22.
The Bulgarian Embassy, which has four employees, was temporarily moved from Tokyo to Fukuoka, about 1 000 kilometers south of the capital. The decision was made over the increased levels of radiation in Tokyo from the quake-stricken Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant.
While the Embassy was evacuated, the Bulgarian Consulate in Tokyo did not srtop working, the country's Foreign Ministry points out.
In the first week after the disastrous earthquake and tsunami struck Japan, Bulgaria's Consul in Tokyo, Chavdar Gradinarski, has left Japan without coordinating it with Bulgarian authorities. On March 19, a new Consul – Yuliana Andonova, was appointed.
