Deputy Minister of Economy and Innovation Olta Manjani attended the Second World Summit for Social Development, held in Doha, Qatar, at the invitation of the United Nations.

The summit took place 30 years after the adoption of the Copenhagen Declaration on Social Development. It brought together senior representatives from around the world to discuss policies that promote inclusive growth and reduce inequality.

During her address, Deputy Minister Manjani presented Albania’s model of inclusive development, which combines economic growth with social inclusion.

She highlighted that the continuous increase in the minimum wage has significantly reduced poverty. In addition, targeted programs such as the “Youth Guarantee” and active labor market measures are helping young people, women, and vulnerable groups integrate into the labor market.

According to Manjani, reforms in public administration, digitalization, and EU integration are strengthening transparency, competitiveness, and institutional resilience.

“Sustainable economic growth depends on strengthening human capital and modernizing institutions,” she stated, reaffirming the Albanian government’s commitment to equal and inclusive development.
