Northern (N): Bulgaria (NG). Political Relations between Bulgaria and UK

A file of correspondence on Anglo-Bulgarian relations. The file discusses an invitation from the Society for Friendship with Bulgaria for a delegation from Bristol Town Council to visit Plovdiv; Foreign Office advice that the society was a communist front organisation; and the council's decision to turn down the invitation. The file also contains a similar case involving Bethnal Green Council, which decided to send some children to a holiday camp in Bulgaria despite the Foreign Office's warning. Other documents include a letter from the British legation in Sofia noting that the Bulgarian public was fearful of war after the United States and the United Kingdom deployed troops in the Middle East.
