Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama is attending the Paris Peace Forum at the invitation of French President Emmanuel Macron. The two leaders held a bilateral meeting at the Élysée Palace on Monday evening, ahead of the forum.

PM said on social media that they discussed issues of mutual interest.

This year’s forum focuses on effective governance as a means of ensuring lasting peace, stability and prosperity. Discussions take place against a backdrop of geopolitical shifts, technological developments and climate challenges.

Rama is scheduled to take part in a special “Spotlight” session on Albania’s European perspective and the importance of European Union accession for younger generations. He will also join the forum’s plenary session, titled “From Sovereignty to Cooperation”, which will examine different aspects of international cooperation.
