The focus of the meetings was the increase of investments and trade exchanges with the Czech Republic, cultural rapprochement and promotion of tourism, and support in the EU membership process.

Gonxhe informed that he signed a bilateral agreement of concrete engagement, expanding the working groups of the Czech-Albanian Inter-institutional Official Commission.

Representatives from business and chambers of commerce were also present at the discussions, who, according to Minister Gonxhe, enriched the dialogue with fruitful B2B meetings.

Gonxhja said that Albania offers many opportunities in many sectors for Czech investments.

Presented at the Albania-Czech Business Forum in Tirana, the minister said that Albania is becoming more and more attractive to foreign investors.

As a minister, I stand before you with a deep sense of responsibility and commitment to promote strong partnerships and to facilitate investments that will benefit both our countries," said Gonxhe.

"For Czech investors and businessmen, Albania offers a multitude of opportunities and a diverse range of sectors. Moreover, Albania's young and qualified workforce, together with competitive labor costs, presents a compelling proposition for investors looking to establish a presence in the region," the minister emphasized.
