Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama announced today on January 17 through social networks that Albania has been invited to become part of the Peace Council for Gaza, an international initiative conceived by American President Donald Trump.
In his post, Rama says that he feels very honored by the personal invitation and considers this an important step for the country in the international arena. According to him, Albania is represented as a founding member, climbing another unimaginable peak just a few years ago, and this also reflects the country’s growing influence in the international arena.
Rama also emphasizes that this invitation is a reflection of the deep strategic partnership relations between Albania and the United States of America, which have strengthened significantly in recent years. He says that he is proud of the transformation of Albania and the respect that the country has gained internationally.
“Very honored by the personal invitation of President Trump, to represent Albania on the board of peace, a new international organization devised by him, where Albania is invited as a founding member, thus climbing another peak internationally that was unimaginable only a few years ago. I could not be more proud of Albania, for everything we have done in these years turning it into another Albania, dignified and respected globally as never before, indisputable even for the level to which we have raised our strategic partnership relationship with the United States of America, being invited with a very special respect and appreciation by President Donald J. Trump, to become part of an international board created and chaired by him himself and to work together with him”, writes Rama.
The Peace Board for Gaza was announced by Donald Trump as an international organization with the aim of promoting peace and stability in the Middle East region. It includes internationally recognized figures, including political leaders, diplomats and representatives of civil society, who will work for dialogue and a peaceful solution to the conflict between Israel and Palestine. The inclusion of Albania as a founding member shows not only a recognition of its diplomatic role, but also a new opportunity to contribute to an issue of global importance.
