The Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, Olta Xhaçka, participated in the meeting of NATO Foreign Ministers in Bucharest.

This ministerial discussed ways to strengthen the stability, develop capabilities and preserve the political independence of NATO allies, who are most exposed to the threat from the east.

“We underlined that the security of these partner countries is of direct importance to NATO and reaffirmed our commitment to the open door policy of the Atlantic Alliance. We also approved the NATO Report on the Western Balkans and we believe that it properly emphasizes the strategic importance of our region for the Alliance. Albania was reconfirmed in this ministerial not only as a worthy member of the alliance but a key factor in the stability of the region and of all allied countries in these troubled times for the whole globe”, said Minister Xhaçka after the meeting
