In November 1991, the country joined the community as an associate member and two years later, in October 1993, during the 5th Francophone summit on the island of Mauritius, it received the status of a full member.

Today, Vice President Iliana Iotova and Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikolay Milkov will present the program to mark the anniversary. The celebrations are held under the auspices of the vice president. 88 countries are members of the organization established more than 50 years ago.
