US Ambassador Receives Special Gift from Afghan Girl
The US Ambassador to Tirana, Yuri Kim, has met with Afghan citizens who came to Albania, as their lives were endangered by the Taliban, receiving a special gift from a young girl.
Through a message on social media, accompanied by photos, Ambassador Kim revealed, among other things, the gift she received from an Afghan girl, saying that she was overwhelmed by the gesture.
“I had the opportunity to join Foreign Minister Olta Xhacka for a visit with some of the Afghan women, men and children who have arrived in Albania over the last few days. We first met at the airport in the middle of the night - it was wonderful today to see each other in the sunlight and hear their stories.
I was touched when one little girl gave me a drawing of a flower as a gesture of friendship. The people we met were full of praise and gratitude for the Albanian people for welcoming them so warmly. They were also pleased to meet some of the people and groups who have supported the evacuation of those at risk (today’s visit included Yalda Hakim Foundation and Schmidt Futures),†said U.S. Ambassador Yuri Kim.
