Albanian Defence Minister Ermal Nufi reaffirmed Albania’s commitment to NATO during the Athens Defence Conference, organized by the Delphi Economic Forum and the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP).
Nufi said Europe faces an increasingly challenging security environment. Therefore, he stressed that stronger strategic coordination among allies is essential.
He highlighted Albania’s steady contribution to the NATO Alliance, describing the country as a responsible, committed, and reliable ally. He also noted that Albania is increasing defence spending and modernizing its Armed Forces.
Furthermore, Nufi said Albania actively contributes to NATO operations, European Union missions, and international security initiatives. He added that the country supports a stronger Europe within a stronger NATO.
The minister also emphasized that the Western Balkans must remain a strategic priority for both the European Union and NATO. He warned that the region is increasingly vulnerable to malicious influence, disinformation, hybrid threats, and other destabilizing activities.
The Athens Defence Conference brought together defence ministers, senior NATO military officials, diplomats, security experts, and representatives of the defence industry to discuss key international security challenges and future strategic priorities.
