Prime Minister Edi Rama announced that the President-elect of the United States of America, Donald Trump, will visit Albania during the NATO Summit that is expected to be held in Tirana in 2027.

During the year-end conference with journalists, the head of government emphasized that the US President and other world leaders will be present in Tirana, giving a clear message about Albania’s position in the international arena.

“Even more unthinkable, until a few years ago, was the hosting in Tirana of the NATO Summit in 2027, for which we have started working together with NATO. A mission to inspect the conditions of infrastructure and logistics has come to Tirana and made assessments that would have been impossible in Tirana before the government, in alliance with the Municipality of Tirana, built whatever it has built in this decade. The arrival of the President of the USA and all the NATO leaders is at the same time a clear message for everyone related to Albania and related to our new political position in the international arena. We are a small country. We have a modest weight, but today we are treated as equals and with a respect that we have never had in our history,” said Rama.
