Prime Minister Edi Rama said that under the agreement signed between the Italian state-owned company Fincantieri and the Albanian company KAYO, the construction of at least 7 ships in Pashaliman will be made possible.

In the joint press conference with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Rama emphasized that Albania will soon supply Italy with ships, as well as other countries if needed.

“It’s not just two patrol vessels, but when the news needs to sound negative, they say it’s only two; when it needs to be positive, it is what it is. There are two patrol vessels, but above all, there are 7 ships that will be built in Pashaliman by an Italian-Albanian company. The Italian side will be Fincantieri, the Albanian side will be KAYO. And this will be a joint venture that will create jobs, knowledge for young Albanians, and will supply Albania, Italy, and other countries if needed, with ships that are so important in the times we live in,” Rama said.
