Justice Minister Toni Gogu met with his Italian counterpart, Carlo Nordio, in Rome on Tuesday to discuss strengthening cooperation between Albania and Italy in the field of justice.

In a social media post, Gogu thanked Nordio for Italy’s continued support as Albania’s strategic partner on its path towards European integration. He also acknowledged Italy’s assistance in preparing amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code and other legislative packages.

“Minister Nordio and I reaffirmed our commitment to further strengthening relations between our two countries and expanding cooperation into other areas of justice,” Gogu said.

Earlier in the day, Gogu also held meetings with Maurizio Gasparri, Chair of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence; Stefano Mogini, Co-President of the Court of Cassation; and Ciro Maschio, Chair of the Justice Committee of the Chamber of Deputies.
