Albania and the United Kingdom have signed an agreement to improve trade and the fight against organized crime.
The Partnership, Trade and Cooperation Agreement between our countries was signed on Friday in Albania by Foreign Minister Olta Xhaçka and British Ambassador Norman Duncan.
“The Agreement signed today (5 February) sets out the UK and Albania’s ambitions for our future relationship including the strengthening of political, economic, security and cultural ties. As well as deepening our shared work against organised crime, the Agreement will allow for more cooperation on good governance and political cooperation – improving the security of the Western Balkans to make both Albania and the UK safer,” a statement by the British government read.
Total trade in goods and services between the two countries was €180 million (£158 million) in 2019.
