The head of the Taipei Representative Office in Greece, ambassador Paul Chang – whose diplomatic responsibilities also cover Bulgaria – handed a donation to the Bulgarian Orthodox Church on April 18 to assist the Church in its charity work.

Ambassador Chang and a delegation from Taiwan were received at Sofia’s landmark Alexander Nevsky Cathedral by Archmandrite Dionisii, chairman of the church council of the cathedral, who briefed him on the history and status of the cathedral.

The donation of 3500 euro will be used for the needs of children with autism, towards the renovation of a canteen at a facility supported by the Church.
