Bulgaria signs the contract for participation in Expo Milano 2015

Bulgaria is the 98th country to sign a participation contract for Expo Milano 2015.

The document was signed today by Dimitar Grekov, Minister of Agriculture and Commissioner General of the Bulgaria Pavilion at Expo Milano 2015, and by Giuseppe Sala, Commissioner of the Italian Government for Expo Milano 2015.

The Bulgaria Pavilion, covering an area of 584 square metres, will enjoy a particularly strategic position because it will be located between two countries that will be involved in major world events in coming years: the United Arab Emirates (organizers of the next Universal Exposition – Dubai 2020) and Kazakhstan (Organizer of the upcoming International Exposition – Astana 2017).

“With today’s signature,” commented Giuseppe Sala, “Bulgaria confirms the trust it has placed in the Milan Universal Exposition and adds another major tessera to the mosaic of countries that will bring the uniqueness of Expo Milano 2015 to life. In recent years, Bulgaria has made notable progress in science and agriculture and I am confident that, through its presence and its interpretation of the Theme “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life”, it will provide an invaluable contribution to the discussions we hope to foster regarding the food challenges of the millennium.”
