South Korea's ambassador to Bulgaria, Dong-Be Kim, has sent a thank-you letter to the Peyo K. Yavorov Regional Library in Burgas after the opening of Bulgaria's first Korean reading room, the library said.

The reading room, called "Window to Korea", opened last Thursday in the library building. Burgas also hosted Korea Day that day.

The letter is addressed to library director Yana Karshiyska. In it, the ambassador praised the active cooperation, the team's professional commitment and its role in creating the reading room.

The library sees the letter as confirmation that it is a link between cultures, traditions and people. In the reading room, people from Burgas and visitors to the city can learn about Korean literature, language and cultural heritage. The library says the room also lays the groundwork for new educational and cultural projects.

The library says international partnerships are built on shared ideas, mutual respect and a wish to bring cultures closer. It thanked the embassy for its trust, its praise and its partnership.
