The Socialist Movement for Integration leader, Ilir Meta, is attending a
visit at the US Congress and Senate. He was invited by congressman
Steven Rothman, member of the Committee for Defense and Foreign
Operations.

They discussed about the US-Albanian relations on defense and our role in the region.

Meta declared that Albania is a determined US ally in the war against terrorism and a dignified NATO member, actively contributing in Afghanistan and other areas of the world where the Alliance is engaged.

Congressman Rothman considers as excellent the relations between the US and Albania, and expressed his commitment for reinforcing them even further.

By valuing the contribution of the Albanian Armed Forces in Afghanistan, the congressman expressed his condolences for the loss of Captain Feti Vogli.

The SMI leader started his visit in Washington yesterday, invited by the organizers of the Southeastern Europe Economic Forum, which is held at the John Hopkins University.

The visit served for other meetings with high rank US officials, including the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Philip Reeker, who declared that Albania slowed its integration agenda down in the last two years in an unnecessary way.
