Our Club was extended a special invitation to the celebration at the Embassy of Mongolia, an honor graciously extended by Her Excellency Mrs. Savanaa Lhagvasuren, the Ambassador of Mongolia in Bulgaria.

Her Excellency Lhagvasuren delivered a captivating speech, setting the tone for an evening infused with Mongolian cultural richness. The event showcased a remarkable performance by a talented artist playing the morin khuur, also known as the horsehead fiddle – a quintessential Mongolian bowed stringed instrument. Recognized as one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, the morin khuur holds deep cultural significance, symbolizing the spirit of the Mongol people and their nation.

The cultural extravaganza continued with an exhilarating acrobatic show, complemented by the soulful melodies of a saxophone, creating a harmonious ambiance. Attendees were treated to a delightful array of cocktails and exquisite meals, adding a culinary dimension to the celebration.

Representing our Club at this distinguished gathering were Ms. Ani Hristova, Ms. Mariam Melikyan, Mr. Grant Dale, Mr. Plamen Lazarov, Mr. Serkan Halil, Mr. Domagoj Stefan and Mr. Boyan Griffen. In addition, the presence of our Rotaract President, Ms. Nevena Ivanova, added to the vibrancy of the occasion.

Rotary Club Sofia International extends its heartfelt gratitude to Her Excellency Lhagvasuren for the gracious invitation, and we look forward to the prospect of future engagements that further deepen our connection with Mongolia.
