Vice President Iliana Iotova spoke with the Ombudsman of the Kingdom of Bahrain Ghada Hameed Habib, who is in Bulgaria at the invitation of the Commission for Protection against Discrimination to sign a Memorandum of Cooperation. During the meeting, a wide range of issues related to human rights were discussed, from the rights of people with disabilities to equality between men and women to an equal start in life for every child, said the press centre of the head of State on Wednesday.

"In today's anxious world, the thought of people, especially vulnerable groups, seems to remain in the background. At the global level, there is a regression in the protection of human rights. Among the main reasons for this is that we have difficulty finding solutions to the many challenges we face," the Vice President pointed out.

Iotova pointed out that Bulgaria is a model country for religious tolerance. "Bulgaria is an oasis in this regard against the backdrop of global conflicts, which are often religiously based," she said.
