In Albania, I discussed our support for its path to EU succession, as well as fighting corruption and organized crime, with President Bajram Begaj and Prime Minister Edi Rama,\u201d wrote Blinken.<\/p>\n<p>The Secretary of State also emphasized that he met with the United States embassy team in Tirana, which works every day on the key priorities of foreign policy, including the resettlement of thousands of Afghan allies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlbania\u2019s assistance in this effort embodies its humanity and deep-rooted tradition of taking care of and giving refuge to those in need,\u201d stated Blinken.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Munich, I engaged with global leaders to underscore our support for Ukraine, discuss our work to achieve lasting peace and security in the Middle East, and highlight our steadfast commitment to transatlantic security,\u201d continued Blinken.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI joined German Foreign Minister [Annalena] Baerbock and Indian Minister of External Affairs S. Jaishankar for a public forum where we addressed ongoing threats to global peace and security. And at a Foreign Ministers Meeting on the sidelines of the conference, my G7 counterparts and I strongly condemned Russia\u2019s aggression against Ukraine. We left stronger and more united to meet the challenges of today,\u201d Blinken wrote on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>It was Antony Blinken\u2019s first visit to Albania and the sixth of a U.S. Secretary of State. In 1991, Albania was visited by James Baker, Madeleine Albright in 2000, Colin Powell in 2003, Hillary Clinton in 2012, and John Kerry in 2016.<\/p>\n\r\n                <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n
