BBLF Chairman Levon Hampartzoumian said at the opening: „We have been living in very interesting times but we are used to facing challenges in Bulgaria and to look for ways to overcome them”. The current global situation would bring about new, more sustainable ways of doing business, he said.

Ambassador Dixon emphasized opportunities for expanding bilateral economic relations particularly as the COVID-19 pandemic is a chance for businesses to build back better and focus on digitalization and high tech and green economy.

BBLF members were able to submit their enquiries beforehand as well as during the event. Topics of discussion included the UK’s response to COVID-19, bilateral trade, UK investment in Bulgaria, Brexit and its impact on businesses, opportunities to travel, work and study in the UK and more.
