On 16 December 2024, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Ms. Nevyana Miteva attended the traditional briefing of the Bulgarian youth delegates, participants in the ‘Bulgarian Youth Delegates to the United Nations’ Programme, established in 2006 by the United Nations Association in Bulgaria and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Bulgaria. Our country is one of the 40 countries that participate in the UN Youth Delegate Programme and thus ranks among the leading countries internationally that recognize youth as an equal partner in decision-making processes at national and international level.
In her address to the youth delegates, Deputy Minister Nevyana Miteva expressed her gratitude to the participants in the programme for their contribution to multilateral diplomacy and Bulgaria's international representation. She stressed the importance of young people as key partners in national and global decision-making processes and noted that the Programme not only promotes leadership and innovation, but also opens new horizons for development and participation in sustainable solutions to global challenges. The active involvement of young people is key to building a better future. It was stressed that Bulgaria remains committed to supporting young people and will continue to invest in the development of their leadership and social responsibility, because their participation is essential for achieving global peace and sustainable development.
