Prime Minister Edi Rama has revealed this Wednesday that work has been done on a project for a NATO naval base in Albania. Rama said that the ideas will be disclosed to the Commander of the NATO Operational Command, General, Tod Daniel Wolters. 

"The fact that I had the opportunity to meet with the general, to talk to him made me feel very encouraged in his words when he told me 'you can be a small country, you have a small army, but you can find your place by creating added value for the whole alliance'. 

This is what inspired me to share these words with the minister, with the Chief of Staff, with whole people and made us sit down and think more deeply about how we can get there. 

We have some good ideas and more importantly we have some good friends. We are very confident today that we can truly find our country to be an added value to this alliance. 

I left it for this moment to tell the general that tomorrow we will have the opportunity to show some of the ideas and in these very specific dangerous times I believe he will again consider having a naval base of NATO in Albania. 

It is up to us to present the project to him and show him what we have worked for and then he will be the lawyer and supporter of this idea from the beginning," Rama said.
