TIRANA, September 1 – Foreign Minister Ferit Hoxha took part in the European Forum Alpbach in Austria at the invitation of Austrian Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger. He joined a panel focused on Europe’s ability to act in a rapidly changing world.

He cited the country’s alignment with the European Union’s foreign and security policy, including the adoption of EU sanctions and participation in EU-led missions and operations. He also highlighted Albania’s active role in NATO and its commitment to European values and responsibilities.

Hoxha said Albania is ready to take on a greater role in addressing common challenges. He also said the country wants to contribute to shaping a European Union that is more capable of acting, faster when necessary, stronger when challenged and more united when it matters most.
