The Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, Olta Xhaçka, participated in the conference on “Cybersecurity Challenges in Albania” in the framework of Safer Internet Day.
Minister Xhaçka stressed that, world-wise, no country is capable of facing cyber security challenges alone today, while recognizing the need to raise defense capacities.
Underscoring the fact that cyber-attacks, given the war in Ukraine, will only become more frequent, she announced the news that in the second year of Albania’s mandate in the Security Council, cyber security will be a thematic priority aiming to generate support and cooperation with as many countries as possible.
Minister Xhaçka highlighted the US support given to Albania in countering this cyberattack, stressing the intensification of it in the following months, resulting in concrete outcomes.
Thus, this conference aims to create strategic partnerships, confirm the need for inclusiveness in cyber governance, and reaffirm the valuable contribution of national as well as diaspora experts.
