Albania to Open Commercial Liaison Office in Jerusalem
Marking the first-ever visit by an Israeli President to Albania, President Herzog met on Thursday, September 12, with the Prime Minister of Albania, Edi Rama, in the capital Tirana.
Accompanying the President on his visit was Idit Ohel, mother of Alon Ohel who is among the 101 hostages still being held captive by Hamas.
The Albanian Prime Minister, known for his love of painting and art, emotionally presented Idit with a book of his works as a token of appreciation and emphasized to her once again the importance of bringing the hostages home.
During President Herzog’s historic visit, Prime Minister Rama also informed the President of his decision to open a new office in Jerusalem that will serve as a commercial liaison office.
According to the President’s office: “The decision marks a significant upgrade in the strong relationship between the two nations and represents a symbol of the deep friendship between the two peoples.” (INN / VFI News)
