Rama: We're richer than Switzerland and Israel. They don't have ours, but they know more.

Prime Minister Edi Rama spoke of knowledge and science stopped at the natural resources Albania has, but unfortunately, there is still no knowledge. On anniversary of the Academy of Sciences, Rama said Switzerland does not have enough AlbaniaBut I know more than we do.

He said that Israel has no water, but it is number one in the water plans, and that because of knowledge. If you have invested more in knowledge, Rama said, the more income increases.

A lot of people say we have water, we have sun, we have oil, we have minerals, we have forests, mountains. We have to be like Switzerland, because we're very rich, but countries are not perceived by what they have, but by what they know.

Switzerland doesn't have us, but Switzerland knows more than we do. If we look at investments in knowledge and science compared with income, we will see that the more invested in knowledge and science, the more revenues have increased.

Israel has no water, but it's number one in the water planet. There's a quality of water supply without water, because there's knowledge. We have more water than anyone after Norway and the main problem is water. Why? Because of a wild heritage as a result of ignorance.

The prime minister further expressed respect for all academics: “I hope you don't give up, as not the uninhibited Skender Djindushi”, he said.
