The Director General of the Bulgarian News Agency (BTA), Kiril Valchev, presented the latest issue of the agency’s LIK magazine to UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay on Monday during the opening ceremony of the 47th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, chaired by Bulgaria.

The July issue of the cultural magazine is dedicated to “Bulgaria and UNESCO.” It will be officially launched at UNESCO’s headquarters in Paris later on Monday.

Just prior to the opening ceremony of the World Heritage Committee session, Bulgaria’s Minister of Culture, Marian Bachev, handed a copy of the magazine to UNESCO’s Assistant Director-General for Culture, Ernesto Ottone, during a bilateral protocol meeting at the Paris headquarters.

All delegates and guests at the event also received the special edition of LIK. This month, the magazine was published simultaneously in three languages – Bulgarian, French, and English – under the theme “Bulgaria in UNESCO.”

The 47th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, chaired by Bulgaria, runs until July 16 at UNESCO’s headquarters in Paris. As part of the session, Bulgaria will present elements of its cultural and natural heritage. Later Monday, the July issue of LIK magazine – dedicated to Bulgaria and UNESCO – will also be officially presented at UNESCO.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was founded on November 16, 1945. Bulgaria became a member on May 17, 1956, the same year its National Commission for UNESCO was established. The Commission coordinates activities between Bulgarian institutions and UNESCO.

UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee is one of the two governing bodies responsible for implementing the Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. It is composed of representatives from 21 countries elected from among the 196 States Parties to the Convention.
