The Day of Bulgaria's Unification was celebrated in the British Parliament on the initiative of Feryal Clark, MP from the Labour Party for the Enfield area, where the largest Bulgarian community in London lives.

The meeting was attended by the Bulgarian ambassador in London, Marin Raykov, and his British counterpart, Rob Dixon, who had specially come from Bulgaria to honour the celebration.

British MPs and Bulgarians from the island showed interest in the event.

Ambassador Dixon recalled that in 1885 the British Empire supported the Unification of Bulgaria. He emphasized that 50,000 Britons live in Bulgaria today, which is the largest British community in Eastern Europe, and 3,500 British students study in Bulgarian universities.
