Veliaj: “Right to vote, an obligation to our emigrants”

The Mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, declared that this exhibition comes as a sign of gratitude to all Albanians who have decided to organize their lives in other countries, for various reasons.

“Emigration has shaped our country as a cosmopolitan nation. It may be a thing of smaller countries to always be travelling, but I believe that today we are at a situation in which emigrants are a valuable asset to the country”, the Mayor said.

Veliaj mentioned that the government has increased its attention to the Diaspora by creating a specific ministry, and by promoting economic diplomacy.

“The biggest patriotic act to your country today is to invest and to make sure that the economy keeps growing here. What I like after the Diaspora Summit is that most of the members and activists of the Diaspora have turned into marketing agents for attracting new investments”, Veliaj said.
