On December 2, 2025, a meeting was held with representatives of our wonderful diaspora in Poland, an intellectual, lively, and inspiring community.
The meeting was organized under the care of the Ambassador of the Republic of Albania to Poland, Ms. Mimoza Halimi. The meeting took place as a direct, sincere, and fruitful dialogue on the needs and expectations of the Albanian diaspora in Poland.

There were inspiring moments, important feedback with positive energy, and concrete steps toward strengthening professional, cultural, and human bridges with the homeland.
We thank our diaspora for their hospitality, personal achievements, as well as their extraordinary contribution and connections with Albania.
Ms. Leskaj also met with Mr. Maciej Falkowski, Deputy Director of the Department for Trade and International Cooperation at the Ministry of Economic Development and Technology, to discuss the organization of the 8th JEC Session and the progress of economic and trade cooperation between Albania and Poland. In parallel with the Commission, work will also be done to organize a business forum. The establishment of a joint mechanism to promote Albanian exports was also proposed, and steps were agreed upon to finalize open agreements.

On December 3, an official meeting was held with Mr. Rafał Perl, Deputy Director of the Diaspora Directorate, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Warsaw.
We expressed our deep gratitude for the support Poland has given Albania for European Union integration.
Cooperation in the field of tourism was also appreciated, where Polish tourists have contributed significantly to Albanian tourism and its promotion, along with direct flight connections between Poland and Albania.
Discussions were held on new cooperation opportunities, future projects, and ways to deepen institutional collaboration to support our community in Poland.
Activities are ongoing. Each day, we will share updates from these events.
