The Albanian prime minister attends the Peace Forum.

Prime Minister Edi Rama has held a bilateral meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron during his visit to Paris, attended by the Peace Forum.

The head of the Albanian government is in the French capital at Macroni’s invitation to be part of this international activity, which is held this year in a context marked by major geopolitical changes, rapid technological developments and climate challenges.

At the heart of forum discussions is the importance of effective governance for ensuring lasting peace, stability and prosperity.

Under the forum, Rama will also participate in a special session in the format of “Spotlightovina,” where she will discuss the European perspective and the importance of the European Union membership process for new generations.

This discussion takes particular importance in the conditions when Albania continues negotiations on EU membership, while European integration remains one of the country’s top foreign policy priorities.

In addition to the special session, the Albanian prime minister will also be part of the Paris Peace Forum’s plenary session, with the theme “From Soverignty to Cooperation” (from sovereignty to co-operation).

Various dimensions of international co-operation will be addressed on this panel, as well as the need for co-ordination among states in the face of challenges changing international relations.

The meeting with Macroni comes within the framework of relations between Albania and France, as well as discussions on issues of common interest, especially Albania’s European integration process.

Official Paris remains one of the key actors in the process, while Rama’s participation in the forum enables the country to present its positions for the European future and international co-operation.
