"We are like brothers with Erdogan" - Rama speaks to CNN Turkish: We

The Prime Minister of Albania, Edi Rama, gave an interview to CNN Turk , where he spoke about the results of the NATO Summit, Albania-Turkey relations, the situation in the Balkans, cooperation in the defense industry, and developments in the tourism sector.

Rama praised the NATO Summit, emphasizing that it confirmed the determination of the European arm of the alliance to face security challenges.

"I don't think there was a single more important decision. The summit showed that the European arm of NATO has built a very strong military structure and is determined to modernize its forces to respond to threats," he said.

The Albanian Prime Minister also praised Turkey's organization of the summit, emphasizing that the hospitality and professionalism shown left a positive impression on all participants.

Speaking about the relationship with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Rama described him as a very close friend and a strategic partner for Albania.

"Our relationship is brotherly. He is a very close friend and has made great efforts to take the partnership between Albania and Turkey to a strategic level," Rama declared.

According to him, Erdogan is very interested in developments in the Balkans and plays an important role in initiatives for peace and stability in the region.

Rama confirmed that Albania is expected to host the next NATO Summit.

He explained that, although this was not included in the final communiqué, the NATO Secretary General has announced that the summit will take place in Albania, with only planning issues remaining to be finalized.

Cooperation with Turkey in the defense industry

The Prime Minister emphasized that military cooperation between the two countries is very good and expressed the willingness for other Turkish companies to invest in the Albanian defense industry.

“We would welcome more Turkish companies to develop their activities and products in Albania,” he said.

Commenting on the initiative for the Balkan Peace Platform, Rama underlined that President Erdogan is very committed to the region.

According to him, the organization of the leaders' summit within this platform depends on the decision-making of the Turkish President.

In the interview, Rama also spoke about the debates surrounding the tourism project in the Zvernec area, emphasizing that there is still no final project.

He said that environmental criticism is welcome, but decision-making will be based on expert assessments and not political debates.

Asked about the white sneakers that have attracted attention at international summits, Rama responded with humor, saying that they are much more comfortable than classic shoes, although sometimes both are needed.
