Prime Minister Edi Rama spoke at the reception organized on the occasion of the beginning of Albania’s mandate in the UN Security Council.
Edi Rama: In the long journey until we found our way we have seen everything: war, occupation, dictatorship, self-imposed isolation, extreme poverty.
The only thing we have not experienced – and there is an essential reason for this – is religious conflict.
The reason is that we have learned from experience to put the common first and the individual first. We have managed to believe in sincere dialogue or, to put it better, in “melting the horizons”. Dialogue, for us, is a way to achieve mutual understanding, respect and mutual acceptance, without which peace would remain a mirage, an elusive aspiration.
We will be able to fight the root causes of violent conflict by acknowledging the other in ourselves and ourselves in others. After all, we are all a community of fate.
Our future in this one and only place called earth is ultimately linked to our ability to understand and learn to live our differences, our shared aspirations, in peace and dignity.
That’s the task at hand – to maintain that bright horizon at the core of the Security Council’s work.
Thank you for being here with us tonight, in this very special meeting and thank you for giving a little of the love of this day to Albania today.
