November 21 (BTA) - National Assembly Chair Tsveta
Karayancheva donated books on Bulgaria's history, customs,
traditions and cultural heritage to the National Diet of Japan,
the Bulgarian Parliament said on Wednesday.

Karayancheva told Sawako Hanyu, Librarian of the National Diet
Library, that she felt honoured to be in the place which is home
 to Japan's written heritage and preserves written evidence of
how the foundations of democracy were laid. "I believe that
Bulgaria's and Japan's legislatures will continue to support and
 expand the two nations cultural ties," said Karayancheva.
