The US Embassy in Tirana has reacted to the visit of US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs and Special Envoy for the Western Balkans Gabriel Escobar.
The latter visited Albania today, December 9, where he met with Prime Minister Edi Rama, Foreign Minister Olta Xhaçka, Democratic Party Chairman Lulzim Basha and other leaders.
The US Embassy states in a Facebook post that during his meetings, Deputy Assistant Secretary Escobar thanked Albania for its strong partnership with the United States and reaffirmed the strong US support for Albania’s EU membership.
In the embassy message, Escobar noted that the United States’s focus is on fighting corruption, impunity, and efforts to undermine democracy in the Western Balkans.
Also, says the embassy, Escobar welcomed the further strengthening of US-Albania relations, defense cooperation as NATO allies and the creation of more opportunities for trade and investment.
Escobar also welcomed the joint work between the United States and Albania on regional and global integration – especially when both countries will serve on the United Nations Security Council in 2022.
