Bulgaria is aware of the need to invest in human capital, President Rumen Radev said at a meeting with UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of the United Nations Population Fund Natalia Kanem. On December 1 and December 2, Sofia will host a conference on demographic sustainability. The meeting is held under the auspices of the Bulgarian head of state.

"I want to assure you that Bulgaria is deeply aware of the need to invest in human capital, so that it can face the demographic challenges ahead and to create a favorable environment for children, women, young people, people with disabilities and all vulnerable social groups, in order for us to achieve stability and prosperity in our development," President Radev said.
