Albania intends to open an embassy in Ukraine – for the first time during the period of diplomatic relations between the countries, Albanian Foreign Minister Olta Djacka said on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the countries.
“Albania and Ukraine are part of the family of free democratic nations, the future of both is in the Euro-Atlantic family. On the occasion of the 30th anniversary (of diplomatic relations – IF-U) I am pleased to announce that Albania will expand its diplomatic presence in Kiev by opening an embassy in Ukraine,” she wrote on Twitter.
The foreign minister added that Ukraine’s heroic resistance is a fight for freedom and a rejection of a return to the tyranny from which both states emerged.
“That is why Albania will support Ukraine and its people as best it can until they are defeated in the illegal war of aggression by the Russian Federation,” Olta Djacka explained.
The minister stressed that she looks forward to working closely with her Ukrainian counterpart Dmitry Kuleba to further develop and strengthen cooperation in the future.
