The purpose of this view is the economic cooperation and continuity of political dialogue. The relations between China and Albania, in their 66th year, are very positive for the moment and I am happy to underline that they are getting better in other directions. The “16+1” and the “Belt and Road” initiatives are two other platforms that reinforce our relations”, Rama declared.

“The connection of Shantou, the starting city of the Silk Road, with Durres, our second biggest city, will make way for the development of the Durres Port. Albania is working to give a new push to tourism, which is a national priority sector and an instrument to promote growth and all-inclusive development”, Rama declared.
