On 15th of July Kamelia Dimitrova, a member of RC Sofia International participated in an informal meeting of representatives of Rotary Bulgaria and Mr. Salim Joubran, judge on the Supreme Court of Israel. Mr. Joubran, himself Rotarian, he served as governor of Rotary Israel (D 2490) and was a chairman of the Zeltner Fund for legal research sponsored by Rotary Israel and Tel Aviv University. The meeting was organized under the auspices of Mrs Nina Miteva, District Governor 2015-2016 District 2482 Bulgaria. Unfortunately she was busy this day because of other Rotarian obligations and the meeting was carried out on her behalf by Mr. Kalcho Hinov (Member of RC Sofia Vitosha, Vice President of RLI for South Eastern Europe, Israel, Middle East, North Africa) and Mr. Vladimir Kanev, chair of the International Affairs Committee (D 2482). The meeting was attended by Mr Joubran’s wife Nina Joubran and Mrs Sawsan Hasson, First Secretary Deputy Head of Mission, Embassy of the State of Israel.

During the meeting there was a discussion about the potential opportunities for cooperation between Rotary Bulgaria and Rotary Israel. An idea is to organize a travelling photo exhibition in different towns in Bulgaria with the active support of some local Rotary clubs. Another idea is to initiate a Rotary meting event with a presentation/speech by the Ambassador of the State of Israel to the Republic of Bulgaria.
