Minister of State for Local Government Ervin Demo said that relations between Albania and the United States remain excellent. He emphasized that the strategic partnership between the two nations is solid and growing.

Speaking about the Peace Board meeting in Washington, where he joined Prime Minister Edi Rama, Demo underlined Albania’s role as a source of stability and dialogue in the region. He noted that this role matters even more in today’s complex international climate.

“Albania keeps friendly ties with all parties in the Middle East,” Demo said. “This balanced approach strengthens our position on the Peace Board. It also shows that our relations, whether bilateral or broader, are not defined by political blocs.”

When asked about the opposition’s criticism of Albania-U.S. relations, Demo responded firmly. He said the partnership is strong, consistent, and continues to deepen.

“Albania’s ties with the United States are excellent,” Demo stated. “Our strategic partnership stands firm. Albania’s seat on the Peace Board proves the value of this cooperation.”

He added that the two countries have built their relationship on lasting trust and shared goals. “These ties will only grow stronger with time,” he concluded.
