“Bulgaria remains fully committed to the youth and peace and security agenda and supports an enhanced United Nations engagement with young people as equal and essential partners for peace. That will further strengthen young people's role and contribution to peace and security, thereby guaranteeing the durability of peace through generations.”

“Young people have an important role to play in creating the foundation for peace in their communities and beyond. In that regard, I would like to highlight the importance of the continuation of education during armed conflict. Investing in young people by strengthening their educational opportunities and economic inclusion is instrumental in achieving the youth, peace and security agenda. Bulgaria supports these efforts both politically and through targeted funding. The largest part ofBulgaria's humanitarian and development assistance is aimed at providing support to children and young people in conflict-affected areas and ensuring the right to education in emergencies. In 2017, Bulgaria contributed â‚¬100,000 to the Education Cannot Wait global fund.”

“Bulgaria highly values the crucial role of civil society, especially youth and youth-led organizations and young volunteers, in amplifying the contributions of young people to peace and security, economic development and social cohesion, as highlighted also in the Study. In Bulgaria, we have many positive examples of young volunteers engaged in social initiatives, including those related to refugee integration, social entrepreneurship for persons with disabilities, human rights campaigns, sustainable development projects, etc. Bulgaria believes that children and young people can be key agents of positive social change and actively promotes their human rights and their empowerment through education, which is crucial to building peaceful and inclusive societies.”

“For the first time in the history ofhumankind, young people represent a quarter of the world's population. They are therefore a tremendous peace and security dividend and a major human resource for development that should be mobilized to consolidate peace and prosperity across the globe. I should like to reiterate Bulgaria's full commitment to resolution 2250 (2015), which established the role of young people as partners for peace. Bulgaria welcomes the independent progress study on youth and peace and security (see S/2018/86) and the recommendations contained therein, especially the proposals for ensuring youth participation in decision-making and accountability processes at the United Nations and for annual reporting by the Secretary-General to the Security Council within the framework of annual open debates.”

“Bulgaria has a long tradition of actively involving young people in the development and implementation of policies and programmes that impact their lives, and of ensuring the meaningful participation of young people in all spheres of political and public life through broad and inclusive consultations. Youth empowerment and youth participation in decision-making are key priorities of the Government of Bulgaria, and my country continues to strongly advocate for the more substantial involvement of young women and men in global affairs as well, including through the United Nations Youth Delegate Programme, which Bulgaria has been successfully implementing over more than 10 years, thereby ensuring that young people have a say in global processes and that their voices are heard and taken into consideration.”

“Allow me to start by thanking Peru for organizing today's open debate. I would first like to underscore that Bulgaria fully aligns itself with the statement made earlier on behalf of the European Union (EU). The Government of Bulgaria has identified youth engagement in peace and security as one of the key priorities of the political agenda of the current Bulgarian presidency of the Council of the European Union under the broader topic of the future of Europe and young people. Last week, Bulgaria hosted a major European youth conference, which provided a platform for a valuable exchange of ideas between Governments and young people with the aim of developing the new EU Youth Strategy through a participatory and inclusive process.”
