Bulgaria’s accession to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is not only a foreign policy priority but also an opportunity for the success and future of young people in the country, said Ivanka Tasheva, Director of the Directorate “Foreign Economic Relations and Development Cooperation” at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, during a conference in Burgas on Thursday.
The conference, organized by the Diplomatic Institute under the Foreign Minister, examines how Bulgaria’s future OECD membership will benefit the success of young people. The focus of the discussion is on innovation in education and youth entrepreneurship.
Tasheva noted that today’s international environment is marked by crises and challenges, making Bulgaria’s membership in organizations such as the OECD particularly important. According to her, joining the OECD will strengthen the country’s image as a stable and predictable partner and will bring practical benefits—improving the investment climate, higher international rankings, and recognition for implementing high standards in governance.
Even at the negotiation stage, benefits are already being observed—Bulgarian legislation is being aligned with the organization’s requirements, Tasheva said.
The forum in Burgas provided a platform for exchanging ideas among representatives of state institutions, academia, businesses, and the NGO sector on topics related to quality education, digital transformation, and youth entrepreneurship.
