TOKYO-SABA
The Bulgarian News Agency (BTA) was the only non-Asian news media invited by Japan's Kyodo News agency as a special guest at a conference in Tokyo within the 52nd Executive Board Meeting of the Organization of Asia-Pacific News Agencies (OANA). The conference was titled, "News Agencies in the Era of Digital Innovation".

The OANA has 44 members from 35 countries, which provide two-thirds of the news information in the world, the organization's website says.

BTA has an active agreement with Kyodo News since 1964, which the heads of the two agencies, Kiril Valchev and Toru Mizutani, agreed should be renewed because it envisages the exchange of news and photos by regular post.

Valchev gave a speech at the opening of the conference as News Agencies World Congress President and Secretary General of the Association of Balkan News Agencies-Southeast Europe (ABNA-SE). He took part in the forum’s second panel, dedicated to the funding of news agencies.
