The Council of Ministers approved the National Strategy of the Albanian Diaspora and the Action Plan 2021 – 2025. The adopted document promotes the development of state policies for the inclusion and contribution of Albanian communities abroad and to strengthen Albania’s relations with the Albanian Diaspora.

This is the second Strategy that the Albanian government has approved. Two years ago, it approved the National Diaspora Strategy 2018 – 2024 which was the first document of its kind. Dynamic developments brought a faster application which led to the need to review and update this important document for the relationship of the Albanian state with the Diaspora.

The National Strategy of the Albanian Diaspora 2021 – 2025 is the continuation of the application of the previous strategy, on the basis of which a new legislation and new specialized state institutions were adopted.

The establishment of new state structures for the Albanian Diaspora further required practical applications and adaptation to changes in legislation. This led to the discussion of the improvements made with the New National Strategy of the Albanian Diaspora.

The decision of the Council of Ministers enters into force after its publication in the “Official Gazette” and extends its effects from January 1, 2021. Until this date, the decision No. 259, dated 9.5.2018, of the Council of Ministers, “On approval of the National Diaspora Strategy 2018-2024 and the action plan ”.
