The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Ferit Hoxha, held a meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Estonia, Mr. Margus Tsakhna.

Minister Hoxha’s post on X:

A friendly and productive first meeting with Margus Tsakhna, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Estonia, on the margins of the NATO Foreign Ministers’ meeting in Helsinborg.

Building on the recent visit of Prime Minister Edi Rama to Tallinn, we had an excellent exchange on Albania’s accession path to the European Union, the very strong bilateral relations between our countries, and our shared desire to further expand cooperation in areas of common interest.

In particular, we discussed Estonia’s remarkable experience in digitalisation, innovation, and the transformation of public services and daily governance, areas where Albania is keen to deepen cooperation and benefit from Estonia’s expertise to further strengthen efficiency, transparency, and citizen-oriented public administration.

We also exchanged views on the security situation in the region and on our common efforts, including as  NATO Allies, to further strengthen collective resilience and coordination in addressing shared challenges, including in cyberspace through the Security Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence, which Albania joined recently.
