With these words, the Rector of the University of Lisbon, Prof Luís Ferreira, welcomed the Vice President Iliana Iotova.

The largest university in Portugal has 52 thousand students, 20 thousand of whom are foreign. Prof Ferreira expressed gratitude for the good cooperation with Bulgaria. The University of Lisbon has a lectureship in Bulgarian language and culture, and the director of the Centre for Slavic Languages and Cultures at the Faculty of Philology is Bulgarian - prof.

The Vice President emphasised the strong tradition in Bulgaria of studying Portuguese in secondary schools and Universities. She also highlighted the active work of the Camoes Institute for Portuguese Language and Culture.
