The direct interest of Albanian companies, issues, or ways of cooperation were the main topics of the meeting for which the Prime Minister of the Republic of Northern Macedonia responded on a case-by-case basis. At the beginning of his speech, he stated that “the cabinet I lead remains open for any kind of cooperation, partnership and investment that you can make in our country”, asking Albanian entrepreneurs to be direct in their requests \u00a0and to make \u00a0them near his cabinet. The President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Mr. Nikolin Jaka expressed in his speech in the first place the congratulations of the business community for reaching an agreement between Greece and Macedonia, considering it a positive step, which guarantees peace and prosperity in the\u00a0 Balkan region\u00a0 . “Secondly, I extend my heartfelt congratulations on the ratification of the protocol for the membership of the Republic of Northern Macedonia in NATO, which makes our region even more secure,” Jaka continued in his speech. According to President Jaka, Albania and Macedonia have already entered a constructive phase and both countries have rationally understood that strengthening economic and trade cooperation is the fairest and mutually beneficial path. “Especially in the last three years, the Albania-Macedonia relations have had a positive impact on the improvement of economic cooperation, creating at the same time a very positive climate in the Western Balkans region, also in the perspective of EU integration”, he stated, assessing also that the exchange rate of trade levels still remains low. For this he demanded the facilitation of customs procedures in the export of early agricultural production, a problem raised many times by our business. “Problems of this nature need to be discussed at the technical level, in order to reach a solution as soon as possible,” he stated. According to him, tourism is a sector with potential and that should be promoted for another stage. \u201cPromotion of regional tourism, encouragement of mutual investments; also, the agro-industry sector, the energy sector and the development of road infrastructure, make \u00a0the work of the two governments necessary \u00a0regarding Corridor VIII and the railway connection between our two countries, etc.,” he stated. Part of the meeting was also the Ambassador of the Republic of Northern Macedonia, Mr. Fatos Reka, who in his speech expressed openness for the establishment of further bridges of communication between the entrepreneurs of the countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
