11 years have passed since Albania joined NATO. It is a historic day for all Albanians. A day when Albania became a member of the largest military alliance in history. Therefore, today I want to express my gratitude to all those who have worked so hard to make this aspiration of the Albanians a reality. I would also like to thank all the allies, especially the United States of America, who believed in Albania and welcomed Albania to the ranks of allies.
