In her speech, Minister Ibrahimaj praised the relations between the two countries and thanked the Swiss government for the support it has given over the years and continues to give to Albania.

"The support of international partners is important to consolidate a credible macroeconomic framework, an improved business environment, an innovation-friendly, competitive and productive environment, and one that encourages youth employment. "All these elements will serve for the economy to continue to grow in a comprehensive and sustainable way, thanks to the public-private cooperation", said Ibrahimaj.
