BPID membersSigningSofia, February 10 2015

Today on February 10 2015 the Minister of Foreign Affairs Daniel Mitov and the President of the Bulgarian Platform for International Development Ventzislav Kirkov signed a two-years Cooperation Agreement between MFA and BPID. For us at BFPA it is a double occasion for celebration - on one side as BPID founding member and on another due to the fact that BFPA Program Manager, who is the President of BPID, signed the contract. A lot of efforts lead to this very moment! Representatives of the NGOs members of the Platform, the team of MFA Directorate “UN and global issues” and mediaSpeech representatives took part in the Signingevent.

As a EU member state Bulgaria has obligations in the field of the development cooperation, which we are striving to fulfil despite the challenges that arise from the economical crisis and the limited budget funds for development policies. In this joint effort the non-government sector is our key partner without which development policy cannot be fully formulated and implemented.

These are the words of Foreign minister Daniel Mitov at the official ceremony, at which the Cooperation Agreement between MFA and BPID was signed.
Bulgaria will benefit from all aspects of this partnership, stated Ventzislav Kirkov, Chairman of the BPID board. He noted that the members of the organization are recognized in country as well as abroad, and the cooperation with them facilitates the access to target countries for Bulgaria. The NGOs form BPID have valuable and specific experience in the countries from the Western Balkans, the Black Sea region, Central Asia and Africa.
