site.btaBTA, Varna's Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy Sign Permanent Partnership Agreement
The Bulgarian News Agency (BTA) Monday extended its partnership with the Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy (NVNA) in the Black Sea city of Varna. A permanent agreement was signed by BTA Director General Kiril Valchev and NVNA Rector Flotilla Admiral Boyan Mednikarov.
"BTA and NVNA are extending a very successful agreement," Valchev said. He added that the previous agreement signed in 2021 resulted in BTA publishing 74 news items in Bulgarian language about the Naval Academy or its events, and 68 in English.
In 2023, thanks to its partnership with the NVNA and the Bulgarian Antarctic Institute, BTA will once again cover a Bulgarian expedition to Antarctica and is sending a photographer to capture the most important part of the voyage - Antarctica itself, where he will spend about a month. Prior to leaving for the expedition, the scientists from Sofia University, the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and the NVNA will present their projects in BTA video interviews, Valchev said.
Mednikarov expressed gratitude for the fruitful media partnership with BTA.
He said that BTA's logbook of the first Antarctic expedition by a Bulgarian naval research ship, in 2022-23, the special editions of BTA's LIK magazine (in Bulgarian and English), and the daily dispatches by the BTA correspondent on board that ship had helped a lot to raise public awareness about the voyage and the ship's role in Antarctic exploration.
Valchev added that the extended agreement offers BTA internship opportunities to NVNA cadets.
