Rama meeting with Albanians in New York: Our image in the world has changed

Prime Minister Edi Rama is in New York, where he is having a meeting with representatives of 100 associations of Albanians in America, at the invitation of the well-known Albanian activist and head of the National Diaspora Council, Mark Gjonaj.

During his speech, he said that the image of Albanians everywhere in the world has changed, as the development of tourism in our country has been affected. Thus, Rama touched upon the issue of the diaspora’s vote, which according to him has become easier with the procedures at the post office.

“I believe that the most important thing of all is that all these together have led Albania to have a different position in the world.

Everyone who lives abroad today holds their head high when they say they are from Albania. More and more you hear people saying they want to visit Albania or I’m in Albania”, said Edi Rama in a meeting with Albanians in New York.

“Thanks to a positive impression with the representatives of the diaspora, we have this law and all Albanians have the right that through a simple system they can register and the envelope comes, mark the expression of your will, close the envelope and send it.

In that address, the municipality and the mayor in Albania who are voting are marked”
