Your Excellency Mr. Georgi Parvanov,

Distinguished Guests

Ladies and Gentlemen.

It is both an honour and a pleasure for me to be in your midst in the historic capital city of Sofia. Bulgaria is an ancient land, with a long history and a glorious cultural heritage. We know of its literary, philosophical and cultural tradition. The statue of Sofia, in the Centre of this beautiful city, holding the symbols of fame and wisdom in her hands and wearing the crown of the Goddess of fate truly characterizes the aspirations of all mankind.
