US Secretary of State Antony Blinken comes to Albania today on a visit Tirana has made all preparations for. The American top diplomat's journey to Europe starts from Albania to continue later in Germany.
Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs James O'Brien and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Yuri Kim held a media conference, where they provided details about Blinken's visit. They will escort the American Secretary of State on this trip.
Kim indicated that Blinken's first stop will be in Albania and that he in Tirana will stay from 11:00 to around 7:00 p.m.
The first “will essentially be a daily stop in Albania that will last between 11:00 and 7:00 p.m. And this is really a stop focusing on the future, the future of Albania, the future of the Western Balkans, where you can remember that Assistant Secretary Jim O'Brien was recently there to talk about Bosnia and Herzegovina, but in any case, the future of the Western Balkans and the future of Europe”, Kim said.
There are several events, the former American ambassador to Tirana warned. This is a very busy time. So he will go and meet with President Begaj and then have a meeting with the prime minister. This is not necessarily in chronological order, by the way. But he will have a bilateral meeting with the prime minister, at the end of which there will be a joint presentation for the press”.
It will have a beautiful meeting with young people, maybe about 100 and more people, and that's for some reason. The first is that there are about 100 people who have gone through our different exchange programs, such as Fulbright or IVLP and other programs. And the place for that event will be pyramid”, Kim said.
O'Brien, meanwhile, said that “The secretary will spend Friday and Saturday at the Security Conference in Munich”.
It's a country that brings together leaders from all European and Eurasian land measures, but also from around the world, so it's an appropriate place to address a range of questions”.
The American delegation is led by Vice President Harris”, the US diplomat showed.
