The Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, Igli Hasani was hosted at the Holy See in a private audience by Pope Francis. Hasani, on behalf of the Albanian government and state, praised the efforts of the Holy Father and the Catholic Church to maintain peace, stability and harmony between religious communities, nations and peoples in the world. ”
The deep appreciation of His Holiness for the example that Albania gives to the world for human solidarity and religious brotherhood, continues to be an inspiration and guiding light for our country’s continuous effort to be on the right side of history,” he emphasized. Minister Hasani.
Albania’s relations with the Holy See are very important and go beyond institutional relations. The establishment of diplomatic relations with the Vatican (1991) coincides with the establishment of pluralism and democracy, which brought freedom to institutions, including religious ones, and restored the faith of Albanians.
This year marks 10 years since the visit of Pope Francis to Albania, who chose to visit Albania as the first country in Europe precisely for the Interreligious Dialogue between different religious beliefs in Albania and to honor the martyrs of the persecution of the communist regime.
