On the margins of the #Delphi Economic Forum, I had the pleasure of meeting with the Special Envoy of the Minister of Foreign Affairs for Business and Philanthropy of the United Arab Emirates, H.E. Badr Jafar @uaesebp. 🇦🇱🇦🇪
Our discussion focused on the growing economic opportunities between our two countries, with particular emphasis on strengthening trade relations and expanding areas of cooperation.
While our countries have already built a solid relationship and a sustainable framework of cooperation, I encouraged greater engagement from the #UAE’s private sector in key sectors such as energy, tourism, innovation, and hospitality, among others.
In this context, the prospect of opening a UAE #Embassy in Tirana represents an important and welcome step forward. It reflects the strength and quality of our partnership and paves the way for even deeper and more dynamic collaboration in the years ahead.

Meeting university students in #Korça was a great experience.
Meeting students from the “Themistokli Gërmenji” and “Raqi Qirinxhi” high schools was absolutely inspiring.
One message stands out clearly: our #European future will not simply be negotiated — it is being built by our youth. 🇦🇱🇪🇺
It is taking shape in classrooms, through daily effort, in the curiosity to learn more, the courage to ask difficult questions, and the willingness to get involved.
For us, #Europe does not begin the day #Albania joins.
Europe starts now.
Europe starts here.
Europe begins the moment we decide to do more, to do better, and to be better — every single day.
