Summary/Abstract: Purpose of this paper is a reflection on the role of the modern Bulgarian Diaspora to strengthen the image of Bulgaria and the Republic of Moldova in the world. An important factor in the perception and the formation of the international image of the country is its Diaspora. Diaspora organizations with their activities and lifestyle represent an image of their historic homeland, the features of the national character of societies, citizens who they have become. Spreading and promoting national culture and values, lobbying for national projects and programs, with the help of the media, the Internet and social networks, they actively intervene in the processes of interstate and global communication in the world space.
