Edi Rama

Prime Minister Edi Rama from the UN Assembly expressed Albania's commitment to the 'pact for the future'. During his speech at the 'Summit for the Future', where a number of problems that the world is facing today are being addressed, he emphasized the importance of the joint actions of the states in solving these problems.

Today, the eyes of the world must be turned to this meeting, so we can honestly say that the peoples of the world continue to believe in the promise of a better future, while they see us gathered here.

I seriously doubt that and this is something we all have to face under this roof, the roof of the United Nations. 

We must have the courage to admit that in the end, our actions have often been far from meeting the expectations of the peoples we claim to serve.'
The crises that have passed and are passing for Rama must be faced with a different approach and not just with words.

Time after time, the UN has not been able to fulfill the hopes of us, the peoples, and the fear for the future continues to grow everywhere, in the East, in the West, in the North and in the South, while crisis after crisis falls on us.

These crises have destroyed common ground, divided us further, and yet even in the midst of this turmoil, we have consistently undermined the opportunities each crisis has presented for meaningful change.

So how do we begin to rebuild that trust that has been eroded?'
The danger to Rama comes from some nations that are trying to act individually and not collectively with the United Nations.

How to prove that multilateral action is not just an empty word, but the power that can really solve the emerging and pressing challenges of this time. How to prove that our collective power is not simply greater than the fragmented, disconnected and sometimes destructive efforts of individual nations, but the only solution we have to save humanity from collapsing before our eyes. 

How do we inspire, rather than demoralize, ordinary people? Whose lives are destroyed day by day by the irresponsible actions of the small and big powers of the globe, including in Europe, where a new war has called into question not only everything we once thought indisputable, but also the existence of humanity faced with received, open threats to use nuclear weapons.'
He sees the solution in multilateral and coordinated action.

'Honestly, I don't have all the answers, if not any, but one thing is clear, the world has changed dramatically since the United Nations was founded eight decades ago. It seems as if we have lost what is the pure reason that this institution remains irreplaceable. Here we have to start! We must try with great efforts to recover the sense of community that has been lost. We are on the edge of an extraordinary danger and no one is safe, regardless of geographical position, mindset, wealth, power, regardless of political and social systems.

Our challenges are deeply interconnected, and if we don't confront them, a reinvigorated multilateral order will fail us all together. Multilateral action is not a choice, it is an urgent need. The problems we face today, whether as a result of our actions or inaction, require collective responses. They are too extreme and too global to be faced through isolated efforts or through confrontational actions.'
Furthermore, he brought the example of Albania as a country of peace and tolerance that, among other things, sheltered the Jews during the Second World War, with the Christian and Muslim families that protected the Jewish people from the Nazis.

Albania fully supports the Pact for the Future and all its commitments, but let me emphasize, commitments alone are not enough at all. They must be fulfilled, implemented. Well-intentioned words must be transformed into deeds and joint actions, and I cannot say that this must be the case.

While Albania may be a small country, it has given the world good examples, which has been taken to protect our common humanity. During World War II, Albania became the only country in Europe that had more Jews after the war than before it. The Jewish community grew 20-fold during the Holocaust thanks to Muslim and Christian families who protected them from the Nazis. Finally, after the devastation of Kabul's fall to the Taliban 3 years ago, we sheltered several thousand Afghans who would otherwise have ended up in the ninth circle of Hell!'
Recently, Rama mentioned the plan for a new state within our state, which is being discussed a lot these days about the Bektash State in Tirana, to the World Bektash Patriarchate.

Albania also gave the world the youngest saint, Mother Teresa, whose life embodied love for humanity. It reminded us that not all of us can do big things, but we can do small things with great love. This is the principle on which Albania stands and this is what we intend to act with and this is the source of our inspiration, to support the transformation of the center of the Bektashi World Order into a sovereign state within our capital, Tirana, as a center of re moderation, tolerance and peaceful coexistence!'
This pact addresses climate change, human rights, reforming the Security Council, reforming international financial institutions and the development of artificial intelligence.

The leaders pledged to strengthen the multilateral system to "keep pace with a changing world" and to "protect the needs and interests of present and future generations" in the face of "ongoing crises".

The pact contains 56 "actions", including commitments to multilateralism, the protection of the UN Charter and the maintenance of peace. The "Pact for the Future" was negotiated under the leadership of Germany and Namibia.
