The Bulgarian head of state Rumen Radev participated in the third edition of the diplomatic forum in Antalya at the invitation of the President of Turkey, Recep Erdogan. 

The topic of the international event is the promotion of diplomacy as a means of overcoming crises. "The escalation of the war in Ukraine continues. This is worrying us and we should realize that we cannot under any circumstances make decisions that could lead to the expansion of this conflict both territorially and with the use of new weapons," Radev said. He added that he wanted to see more from the work of Minister of Defense Todor Tagarev. "I want to see a Minister of Defense who will truly work for the security of our country."
