“The UN has no alternative in terms of the development of international law and multilateral cooperation. As a member state of the European Union, Bulgaria will champion a strong United Nations Organization as its main partner as a solid foundation of the rules-based multilateral order. In conclusion, I would like to refer to the appeals of two Nobel Peace Prize winners in 1994. In order to achieve the common goals, which have brought us together at this forum, we should use our imagination more than our memory. We need to leap beyond our own imagination to prevent the olive branch from falling out of our hands . THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT”
2020-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 75 (2020)
“We recall the appeal of the World Health Organization for the responsibility of each country to protect the health and safety of its citizens in times of a crisis. Mr. President, The global pandemic is also a threat to the timely implementation of the UN Agenda 2030. Bulgaria, together with the other European Union member states, is fully committed to the implementation of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals during the Decade of Action. Getting through the current crisis does not mean returning to our old way of life. We need to step on a new paradigm by implementing long-term economic measures. The full implementation of the Agenda 2030, the Paris Agreement and the Addis Ababa Action Plan are critical to preparing the world for future systemic shocks.”

“The efforts of the international community should be aimed at supporting and assisting the holding of inclusive national dialogue on a peaceful resolution of the crisis. Last but not least, Bulgaria, within NATO, is developing transatlantic cooperation and solidarity in the conditions of the pandemic. The strategic dialogue between Bulgaria and the United States, which began in January this year, also covers the practical dimensions of overcoming the consequences of the pandemic. Within the framework of the global network “Responsibility to Protect” of the UN member states, Bulgaria supported the need for shared responsibility for the prevention of atrocities during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
2020-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 75 (2020)
“Bulgaria reaffirms its support for Ukraine’s sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity in accordance with UN General Assembly Resolution 68/262 of 2014. Bulgaria was among the cosponsors of this resolution. We support the efforts within the Normandy format to achieve progress in implementing the Minsk agreements. During the first donor campaign in May this year, Bulgaria, through the International Committee of the Red Cross and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, redirected to Ukraine €100,000 from development and cooperation funds, as well as a package of humanitarian aid in kind to combat COVID-19. We are following the situation in Belarus with concern. Bulgaria stands behind the rights and demands of the Belarusian people for a democratic future and free and fair elections.”
2020-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 75 (2020)
“It is also a step towards avoiding serious violations of human rights and international law. We welcome and support the efforts of the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Nikolay Mladenov. The civil conflict in Syria remains a serious destabilizing factor. A political transition in line with UN Security Council Resolution 2254 (2015) and the 2012 Geneva Communique is the single way to overcome the crisis and alleviate the situation of the civilians in need. I would also like to voice my country’s support for the African Union’s efforts to maintain peace and security on the continent in a situation complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic. A cause for serious concern for my country is the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine, where the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate.”
2020-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 75 (2020)
“Not coincidentally, the first such operation was the deployment of a limited contingent of Blue Helmets in the Middle East to monitor the ceasefire between Israel and its Arab neighbours. Bulgaria supports the leading role of the UN in the efforts to resolve the conflicts in the region of the Middle East and North Africa. We welcome the US-sponsored agreement to normalize relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, and between Israel and Bahrain. This is a major diplomatic breakthrough that could open a new page in the history of the Middle East and change the lives of its peoples. Suspending the plans for unilateral annexation of the Occupied Palestinian Territories prevents a humanitarian catastrophe in the context of an ongoing pandemic.”
2020-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 75 (2020)
“To recover from the negative effects of the pandemic in the Western Balkans, it is particularly important to use the established cooperation mechanisms effectively: the Berlin Process — which Bulgaria is co-chairing with the Republic of North Macedonia this year, the South-East European Cooperation Process, the Regional Cooperation Council, and the Central European Free Trade Agreement. Our efforts are aimed at improving connectivity and security in the region. The development of good-neighbourly relations in the Western Balkans with the neighbouring European Union Member States is particularly important in this context. We reaffirmed our support for the Secretary-General’s Initiative on Action for Peacekeeping. UN peacekeeping operations are the epitome of multilateralism and international solidarity.”
2020-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 75 (2020)
“Bulgaria has joined the Team Europe package as part of the European Union measures to support third countries in tackling the pandemic. We promptly restructured our national program for development and humanitarian aid. Just over one million euros have been earmarked for emergency humanitarian aid, health care, and support for socio-economic development. The goal was to support the most vulnerable groups among our neighbours in the Western Balkans, the Eastern Partnership countries, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, and through the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees. Bulgaria has provided humanitarian assistance in kind and a financial contribution to UNICEF’s activities in support of the children who suffered in the tragedy in Lebanon.”
2020-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 75 (2020)
“As a member of the United Nations and the European Union, we are ready to take on our responsibilities: ¥ Supporting the leading role of the UN in multilateral cooperation to tackle the global pandemic; ¥ Actively working to implement the European Union’s priorities and actions in response to the pandemic, participating at the same time in initiatives for a global response to this challenge; ¥ As an important participant and mediator in the integration processes in Southeast Europe; ¥ Contributing to peacekeeping operations and ensuring unhindered access to humanitarian assistance; ¥ As a constructive member of the Human Rights Council for 2019-2021; ¥ And an active member of the ECOSOC for the period 2021-2023; ¥ Implementing the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement.”
2020-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 75 (2020)
“Our country took an active part in the Alliance’s meeting on strengthening the multilateral health architecture. In this manner, we reaffirmed our commitment to supporting multilateral cooperation in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Mr. President, This year, Bulgaria has marked the 65th anniversary of its accession to the World Organization.”
2020-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 75 (2020)
“These institutions should contribute to a global, multilateral, and coordinated response to address the immediate and long-term effects of COVID-19, as well as to address future global crises. The European Union and other regional organizations have joined the UN initiative for a global response to the pandemic, building on the mechanism of multilateralism. The strategic response of the European Union is multilateralism, combined with competitive and sustainable economies and solidarity. The statements of the Alliance for Multilateralism, which Bulgaria joined on 26 September 2019, are in line with the four directions for UN action announced by the Secretary-General — cybersecurity, climate, security, and the fight against lethal autonomous weapons systems.”
2020-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 75 (2020)
“On 25 March this year, The UN Secretary-General, the UN Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, the UNICEF Executive Director, and the World Health Organization Director-General announced a COVID-19 Global Humanitarian Response Plan. Practically the entire UN system was committed to the humanitarian plan. The UN has been proving once again to be a leader in exploring the needs, fundraising, management, delivery, and distribution of humanitarian aid to the population in countries in conflict or crisis. Bulgaria welcomes the adoption of Security Council Resolution 2532 (2020) and the Secretary-General’s Call for a Global Ceasefire to protect the most vulnerable population groups. Along with the UN, we will continue to support all working mechanisms, including the World Health Organization and the World Trade Organization.”
2020-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 75 (2020)
“In early 2020, the UN Secretary-General outlined four threats to humanity: ¥ geopolitical tensions and devastating conflicts; ¥ the climate crisis; ¥ growing global mistrust, and ¥ the dark side of the digital world. Shortly afterward, the new threat of COVID-19 multiplied the risk of a global catastrophe. The COVID-19 pandemic has threatened the rule-based international order. The false opposition of “health or economy” has emerged. Protectionism has caused disruptions in supply chains. Asymmetric socio-economic changes have exacerbated inequality and the danger of destabilization and conflict. The “Infodemic” — the wave of true and false information, which overwhelmed people, has further heightened their concerns.”
2020-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 75 (2020)
“In these circumstances, the world needs the UN more than ever as the moral leader of the modern world. I believe that the UN mission, drawn up 75 years ago, is capable of surviving the crisis of the organization itself — just as the UN had to revive the ideas born of the League of Nations and save future generations from the scourge of war. The UN is going through a structural crisis that requires reform and revitalization. The UN General Assembly in its 75th anniversary presents a good opportunity to intensify work on the Security Council reform. Bulgaria supports the start of negotiations at the intergovernmental level in this direction.”
2020-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 75 (2020)
“MR. PRESIDENT, MR. SECRETARY-GENERAL, DEAR COLLEAGUES, It is my honour and privilege to address the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly. Mr. President, Please accept my congratulations on your election. I wish you every success during the seventy-fifth UN General Assembly session. The coronavirus overwhelmed the agenda of all institutions throughout the world. Yet, the theme of this virtual meeting suggests to us something more. Seventy- five years since its inception, the United Nations is in debt to humanity. We are witnessing a shrinking space of freedom and violations of human rights and international law. Multilateralism as a key UN approach to a collective and solidarity-based solution to global and regional problems was put to the test.”
2020-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 75 (2020)
“Our main task is to guarantee peace and prosperity around the world. I am convinced that that is attainable, not through arms or battles but rather through a greater sense of humanity and responsibility. We also need more than ever to strengthen the role and authority of the United Nations in its global operations. I am confident that, with effort and good will on the part of all Member States, that grand goal can be achieved.”
2018-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 73 (2018)
“It shows that humaneness and courage can triumph over power and irrationality and save lives. It reminds us that we should never stop fighting for human life and the right causes. The salvation of the Bulgarian Jews is a much-needed example that can reassure us that values are not a forgotten notion but offer a chance for a better future. The Bulgarian example should become more widely known to more people so that it can give courage to others around the world who are fighting to defend their lives and those lives of others and to protect dignity and human rights. It is our mission at present not to allow xenophobia and anti-Semitism to return or to permit a disregard for the right to live based on race, ethnicity or other factors. We Bulgarians know that it is possible and that it has happened before.”
2018-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 73 (2018)
“That is also what allows us to better comprehend and appreciate our present efforts. There is a moment in Bulgaria’s history of which we Bulgarians are justifiably proud. Seventy-five years ago, in some of the darkest years of the Second World War, Bulgaria’s citizens, Church and enlightened leaders and intellectuals stood up to attempts to deport nearly 50,000 Bulgarian Jews to the death camps. They managed to prevent that from happening. Bulgarians achieved that at a time when Nazi Germany had subordinated and occupied almost all of Europe. Bulgaria is proud of the people who managed to save nearly 50,000 Jews. I share the story about the saving of Bulgarian Jews because it carries a very strong message that is relevant to the present day and to all who feel threatened.”
2018-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 73 (2018)
“This year we mark the seventieth anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and for the first time Bulgaria will present its candidacy for membership of the Human Rights Council. We rely on the support of Member States. That is not an end in itself for us but rather an expression of our consistent policy of working for the protection and affirmation of human rights in Bulgaria and at the global level. Our presidency of the Council of the European Union also gave Bulgaria the opportunity to showcase its contribution to various aspects of the protection of human rights. We intend to continue to share our best practices as a member of the Human Rights Council. The values that give meaning to any political effort subsume the past, the present and the future.”
2018-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 73 (2018)
“That is also why we support the United Nations in its capacity as a universal organization that possesses the full range of instruments to lead and coordinate the process, along with facilitating the exchange of experience among regional organizations and national agencies and assisting in streamlining their efforts. We support the work of the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism and the specific steps taken to intensify the Organization’s operations in that regard, including support for the organization of the High-level Conference of Heads of Counter-Terrorism Agencies of Member States. One priority is taking measures to protect young people from being radicalized or joining terrorist groups, as well as to neutralize the influence of persons and organizations instigating terrorist attacks.”
2018-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 73 (2018)
“Irregular migration waves have enabled the infiltration of our countries and communities by former fighters from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and other places, including trained members of terrorist organizations, such as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant and Al-Qaida. Bulgaria categorically condemns all forms and expressions of terrorism, no matter what cause they claim to support. They undermine peace, security and the social and economic development of States. That is why an effective response to the problem requires the coordinated efforts of the entire international community.”
2018-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 73 (2018)
“Finalizing the language of the compact is an achievement based on multilateral cooperation, and I am confident that its adoption at the Intergovernmental Conference in Morocco in December will lay the groundwork for the successful implementation of the first-ever global framework for cooperation in the area of international migration. We in Bulgaria also welcome the completion of the consultations on the text of the global compact on refugees, which constitutes a comprehensive response to the problem of large-scale migration flows, based on the principle of shared responsibility. We have recently seen an increase in the numbers of terrorist attacks all over the world, as well as in the number of innocent victims of terrorism.”
2018-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 73 (2018)
“However, if we do not support those efforts with active mediation and peacekeeping and do not manage to resolve current conflicts and prevent future ones, our chances for success are doomed. That is where I see the crucial and unique role of the United Nations, which can and should be strengthened if there is sufficient political will on the part of Member States. During its presidency of the Council of the European Union, Bulgaria took an active part in the process of negotiating the global compact for safe, orderly and regular migration.”
2018-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 73 (2018)
“Let me underscore clearly and right from the start that irregular migration is a serious challenge to our societies’ security and stability. That is why we need to strengthen cooperation among all the countries concerned, including countries of origin, transit and destination, in order to reach a sustainable and permanent solution. It must fully guarantee human rights and the sovereign right of States to ensure the security of their borders. The efforts of the international community should focus chiefly on the main causes of migration, which are political, socioeconomic and natural — that is, the result of natural disasters. We should pay special attention to the various dimensions of development and the integral link between development and security.”
2018-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 73 (2018)
“It is impossible to end all conflicts, but I would nevertheless like to say a few words about another important issue related to peace and security in the world, especially after some of the statements we have heard from Mr. Abbas, Mr. Netanyahu and Mr. Rouhani. We are of the opinion that in the current context, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on the Iranian nuclear programme continues to be a key element in the international security architecture. We also support all efforts for the full, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and the establishment of permanent peace in North- East Asia. Migration flows and refugee crises are a global phenomenon, the result of a myriad political and socioeconomic factors, and of conflicts in various parts of the world in particular.”
2018-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 73 (2018)
“That is why we greatly appreciate and strongly support the efforts of Nickolay Mladenov, the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, to improve the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip as soon as possible. With regard to Libya, Bulgaria supports the United Nations Action Plan for Libya and the efforts of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya, whose primary task is to stabilize the country and reach national conciliation in the context of the existing political and institutional fragmentation. We support the agreement reached by the four key political leaders for conducting presidential and parliamentary elections.”
2018-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 73 (2018)
“Despite the efforts of the international community, military activities in the country continue, resulting in increasing numbers of casualties among the civilian population, as well as thousands of new migrants. As a country that is geographically close to Syria, Bulgaria supports efforts to prevent any further escalation of the military conflict. To that end, we support the continuation of political dialogue and intra-Syria negotiations, with the aim of finding a permanent political solution to the crisis. We support the launch of international initiatives to create conditions that are conducive to restarting the Middle East peace process through bilateral talks. We believe that that is the way to achieve a final agreement, based on the principle of two States coexisting in peace and stability.”
2018-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 73 (2018)
“In addition to such dire statistics, there has been no real progress in implementing the Minsk agreements, which, in our view, represent the only way to a peaceful and sustainable solution to the conflict. The existing differences with regard to the deployment of international peacekeeping forces in eastern Ukraine under the auspices of the United Nations continue. We, the leaders of the States Members of this international Organization, share the responsibility to establish a peaceful, fair and sustainable world order that rests on the principles of the Charter of the United Nations. I call on the Assembly to redouble its efforts to achieve peace and stability in Ukraine without infringing on its sovereignty and territorial integrity. The situation in Syria remains tragic.”
2018-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 73 (2018)
“However, the generally optimistic prospects for the Western Balkans and South-Eastern Europea are in drastic contrast to the conflicts that surround them on three sides — in Ukraine to the north-east, in the Middle East to the south-east and in Libya to the south. Migration flows and the increasing threat of terrorism are the direct consequences of conflicts around the world. I will address those topics in due course. First, I would like to draw the Assembly’s attention to the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine. In the past four and a half years, according to data from the United Nations, the total number of victims in the conflict has exceeded 10,000, and the number of wounded stands at 24,000. There is special cause for concern about the deteriorating humanitarian and environmental situation in Donbas.”
2018-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 73 (2018)
“Important elections for Bosnia and Herzegovina are coming up in October. They will serve as a key test of the country’s unity and determination to progress further along the path of European integration. As we can see, the situation in that part of Europe is very dynamic and fraught with important events that for many years to come will determine the direction of the region’s development and, to a large extent, the state of the EU. What we have managed to achieve so far as a result of our work within the main priorities of Bulgarian foreign policy is part of our contribution to peace and security on the European continent and the world beyond.”
2018-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 73 (2018)
“In two days’ time, the citizens of our neighbour to the south-east, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, will have to take a landmark decision about their future — whether to endorse the unprecedented compromise achieved with neighbouring Greece, which will clear their path towards Euro-Atlantic integration. It is a truly historic moment and shows exactly why we should support the citizens of that country as they take that new decision for their country. Two of our other neighbours face a very difficult dilemma. We support the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, and we welcome their determination to move forward in normalizing bilateral relations with the help of EU mediation. At the same time, we deem the potential re-tailoring of borders a non-viable solution, not just in this case but in general.”
2018-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 73 (2018)
“The Sofia Declaration adopted at the Summit reaffirmed the European prospects for the region and made them an achievable goal. We are aware that that is just the beginning of a new path that is encouraging but neither easy nor quick. However, the stakes are high, not only for the citizens of those countries and for their EU neighbours and friends, but also for the global processes aimed at economic and political strengthening and development. We cannot leave blank spots marked by lagging development, weak economies and societies susceptible to the present global threats.”
2018-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 73 (2018)
“Opportunities for cooperation and the participation of countries from outside the region in the construction of the new Balkan infrastructure have already started to attract interest and investments. An important and emblematic expression of that process was the Leaders’ Summit of the States members of the EU and the Western Balkan countries in our capital, Sofia, in May this year. That was the first meeting of its kind since the Thessaloniki Summit in 2003. Connectivity in all its dimensions was the focus of the discussion, as was the joint response of the young and relatively small Balkan States to the common challenges to security that we all face, such as irregular migration, organized crime, terrorism, hybrid threats, cybersecurity and misinformation.”
2018-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 73 (2018)
“Those agreements are crucial steps towards stability and security in South-Eastern Europe and towards the Euro- Atlantic prospects of the Western Balkan countries. The agreement between Podgorica and Pristina on the border demarcation, which just came into force, is also a significant milestone. Those documents not only show but also help to create the new spirit of relations between and among the countries of that region. I will provide one more example. Based on the historic opportunity that the rotating presidency of the Council of the EU offered us, Bulgaria initiated a process that put the Western Balkans back on the agenda of European politics.”
2018-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 73 (2018)
“The Balkans have often been the source of conflicts and to this day the embers of some in that area continue to burn. Despite the circumstances and obstacles they face, the countries of South-Eastern Europe, especially those in the Western Balkans, have managed to make remarkable progress on important and much debated issues. It took several decades to reach the current state of affairs, which is why we should not hesitate any further to offer the international community’s unequivocal political support to every State or initiative that deserves support. Compelling proof of the progress made by the Western Balkan countries can be seen in the recent signing of agreements between Sofia and Skopje, as well as that between Athens and Skopje.”
2018-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 73 (2018)
“We are proud that during our six-month tenure of the presidency, the European Union adopted a mandate to start negotiations for the signing of a new partnership agreement with 79 countries from Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific. The negotiations seek to achieve a modern, dynamic partnership with those countries as an important instrument in tackling global challenges, ranging from poverty and inequality to the promotion of peace and sustainable development for all. Allow me to highlight some of the idiosyncrasies of the region in which my country, Bulgaria, is situated. This year we mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War, which serves to remind us of the importance of the Balkans in the past as well as the relevance of the region in the present day.”
2018-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 73 (2018)
“The United Nations plays an integral part in promoting the fair use of global opportunities for the benefit of all. Inclusive and sustainable global growth underpins the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, which are universal in nature and closely interlinked, is the key to addressing our current global challenges. During the first half of this year, the Bulgarian presidency of the Council of the European Union (EU) invested considerable efforts in achieving marked progress and consensus among member States on the main goals of the 2030 Agenda.”
2018-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 73 (2018)
“Every country, large or small, has the responsibility and capacity to make a significant contribution to security and prosperity in the region in which it is located. For example, this past Monday, at the high-level event on the global drug problem organized by President Trump, every participating country made a firm commitment to fighting that global scourge. It was not by chance that Bulgaria was one of the co-hosts of that event. We have already pledged and proven our commitment to fighting the drug problem through our actions. Even as we speak, Bulgarian customs authorities and prosecutors have managed to seize hundreds of kilogrammes of drugs, making my country a positive example. In order to achieve peace, security and stability, as well as the Sustainable Development Goals, we all need to take more actions of that kind.”
2018-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 73 (2018)
“The Republic of Bulgaria has worked constantly and actively to sustain a world order based on the rule of law and to reaffirm the principles of multilateral cooperation. That is why I would like to highlight that it is the destiny of the United Nations to play a central role in that effort, and we therefore actively support the Organization in its efforts. The main global challenges, such as conflict resolution and peacekeeping, strengthening global security and stability, countering climate change, terrorism and ever-deepening inequality, cannot be addressed by one country alone. Those challenges require shared responsibility and everyone’s contribution. Global peace and security depend on the stability and sustainable development of the various parts of our globalized world.”
2018-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 73 (2018)
“I believe we should appreciate the fact that the theme of this year’s general debate deals with global leadership and shared responsibilities for peaceful, equitable and sustainable societies. It is comprehensive and provides food for thought on the direction in which our world should develop — and this international Organization along with it. Global leadership is, first and foremost, a great responsibility. In order for us to achieve sustainability and standards of living that uphold the principle of dignity for every human being on the planet, it is absolutely crucial that we demonstrate our commitment and unity as we face the challenges of our time. I am convinced that we are all aware that we need to act with determination and unity in sharing the responsibility to ensure peace, equality and the sustainability of our communities.”
