A Brazilian corner was opened at the National Library “St. Cyril and Methodius” in the presence of diplomats, representatives of institutions, journalists and friends of Brazil. The Director of the BDI, Tanya Mihaylova, attended the opening as the Bulgarian representative on the Board of the International Foundation “European Union – Latin America and the Caribbean” (EU-LAC).

Among the selection of classical and contemporary Brazilian literature in the newly opened corner, there is also the Portuguese edition of the book “The King Travels” (“A viagem do rei”), which is a diary of the journey of the Bulgarian Tsar Ferdinand to South America in 1927-1928. The publication of the book in Bulgarian and Portuguese was a joint project of the Brazilian Embassy in Sofia and the Bulgarian Diplomatic Institute, whose library houses the only publicly available original German version of the diary in Bulgaria.
