" This gives us great pride and gratitude for this strong impetus from the president and the Republic of France in relations with Albania, which have entered a completely new and previously unknown phase ," said Rama.

For this reason, Macron emphasized, I wanted to be present, in addition to participating in the European Political Community, but also to re-express the confidence we have in the path towards Europe and France's confidence in this European path that will become a reality.
