On the occasion of 50 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Bulgaria and the Australian Union, the Bulgarian-Australian Business Chamber (BABC) gathered in Sofia diplomats and companies that develop relations between the two countries. The event was attended by members of the chamber, business representatives, line ministries and directorates, as well as representatives of other mixed chambers.

According to data from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Bulgarian community in Australia numbers between 10,000 and 15,000 people, and more than 5,000 people live in New Zealand. The trade potential between the two countries, however, despite the great potential, is still underdeveloped. BABC makes a targeted effort to support this process by creating business contacts and assisting in the exchange of economic, legal, educational and other information.
