Foreign Minister Georg Georgiev took the post today from Ivan Kondov at a ceremony held at the Foreign Ministry.
‘Coming back here is a more special moment for me, not only career-wise, but also personally. I am grateful that I see so many familiar faces and that the Foreign Ministry, in some difficult and turbulent times, has preserved the image of the country with dignity and respect, as we Bulgarians want to see it’, Minister Georgiev said in his speech at the ceremony. He thanked Ivan Kondov for the results achieved by the caretaker cabinet in foreign policy.

Foreign Minister Ivan Kondov expressed his gratitude for the professionalism and support of the team he had worked with during his mandate and stressed that the new Foreign Minister Georg Georgiev knows the diplomatic service and has a great experience in foreign policy as a Deputy Minister, as a member of the Foreign Policy Committee in the National Assembly and as a member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.
