He underlined the significance of March 3rd, 1878, as a consequence of the yearslong national liberation movement, incl. the April Uprising of 1876 and the Russo – Turkish war of 1877-1878. As a result, Bulgaria reappeared on the political map of Europe.

With reference to contemporary times, he mentioned that the 73-year history of Bulgaria-China relations is extremely rich due to mutual interests and people from both sides who contributed to Bulgaria’s knowledge of China and vice versa.
