Good first meeting with Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs of Albania Ferit Hoxha @HoxhaFer. đŠđ±đ±đ»
Latvia values Albaniaâs contribution to security in the Baltic Sea region by participation in NATO MNB, while đ±đ» contributes to KFOR. We support Albaniaâs EU integration path.
đïž Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Eliot Engel, a distinguished public servant who represented New York in the U.S. House of Representatives for over three decades (1989â2021).
A respected figure in American politics, he was also a steadfast and principled supporter of the Albanian cause, and in particular of #Kosova. He was among the strongest voices in Washington supporting the decisive U.S.-led military intervention to stop the ethnic cleansing of Albanians by the forces of the Slobodan MiloĆĄeviÄ regime.
His commitment did not end there; he remained a consistent advocate for Kosovaâs independence and international recognition, helping to shape enduring U.S. support.
Congressman Engel championed democracy, human rights, and transatlantic values with conviction and clarity. His legacy will endure in the causes he advanced and the lives he touched. He will be deeply missed.
May his soul rest in peace.
OTD, 17 years ago, Albania took a decisive step into its future by becoming a full member of #NATO â a historic milestone that firmly anchored our Euro-Atlantic path and cemented the foundations of our national security.
Since that defining moment, Albania has proven itself a committed and reliable Ally â contributing to NATO missions and operations, promoting stability across the Western Balkans, including by consistently supporting #Kosovoâs #Euro-Atlantic perspective.
Today, #Albania stands fully aligned with NATOâs evolving priorities: from fair burden-sharing and increased defence investment, to strengthening resilience, embracing innovation, and advancing new technologies in a rapidly changing security landscape.
Looking ahead, Albania is honored to prepare for hosting the first NATO Summit ever in our region. This is more than an event; it is a clear expression of trust in Albaniaâs role, credibility, and contribution within the Alliance.
In an increasingly complex and uncertain world, Albania remains steadfast â united with Allies, committed to collective defence, and dedicated to safeguarding peace, freedom, and our shared values.

We stand in full solidarity with our Ally Poland and with NATO. Such dangerous escalations threaten European security and will not deter our unity.

NATO Allies strongly condemn Russiaâs malicious cyber activities and will employ the full range of capabilities to deter, defend and counter the full spectrum of cyber threats.

Albania remains firmly committed to @NATO, consistently contributing both politically and operationally to the Allianceâs collective security.
We will allocate 5% of GDP annually to core defence and security-related spending by 2035 â meeting national responsibilities and strengthening collective resilience.
Hosting the NATO Summit in Tirana for the first time in 2027 will be a great honour â a clear reflection of Albaniaâs unwavering engagement and growing strategic role in the Alliance.
