Before returning to Tirana, Prime Minister Sali Berisha was welcomed in
Tel Aviv by the Albanian-Israeli Friendship Association, mainly composed
of Albanian Jews who have left Albania in the early 90s.

They gave Berisha the Honorary Member title with the motivation “For an extraordinary contribution in strengthening the friendship and cooperation between Israel and Albania, and the constant support to the people of Israel”.

PM Berisha expressed his gratitude for Albania’s representation by the Albanian Jews in these 20 years, turning into Albania’s best ambassadors in this country.

“We don’t have an intensive exchange history in the past, but we have an excellent symbolic past. Our countries have always met as friends, and this is the truth. Both countries have suffered, but in freedom, Israel has proved what free Jews can do. In these 20 years of freedom, the Albanians have proved more than anyone of what they can achieve when free”, Berisha declared.

After inviting the Israeli-Albanian Friendship Association in the 100th anniversary of Albania’s Independence, PM Berisha invited the Albanian Jews to intensify the efforts for orienting the Israeli business to invest in Albania. This visit in Israel was considered by Berisha as one of the most important, and it was the main public part of the government meeting, where he expressed his optimism for the realization of the projects with Israel.

“The interest for investing in Albania was huge, and I have the pleasure to inform the Albanians that the positive echo of this government’s reforms was wide, and that this echo stood behind this great interest of the Israeli investors in our country”, Berisha declared.
