Further on, they met with senior executives of the Company ELTA-IAI (www.iai.co.il) which operates in the field of Cyber Security.
The purpose of these meetings was the beginning of the work for the Signing of a Twinning Agreement between the Municipality of Ashdod and that of Durrës, with a common interest in infrastructure, port, historical, cultural and artistic projects, etc.
While of particular interest was the proposal of the CEO of the Cyber Security and Marketing Division, for co-investment with Albanian state bodies to create in Tirana the center on Cyber Security.
Both of these projects mark the beginning of a busy working agenda between the relevant Albanian and Israeli authorities, for the second half of 2020, in areas of strategic interest to Albania and Israel.
