The Prime Minister of Albania has published on social networks moments from the official greeting at the NATO Summit being held in Ankara.

Rama will also hold a bilateral meeting with the President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Five NATO member countries are expected to meet the alliance's new target of spending over 3.5% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on essential defense by 2026, according to updated data published by NATO.
The figures were released ahead of a NATO leaders' summit in Ankara and show a significant increase in military investment by some allied countries, while pressure to strengthen defense capabilities has increased, particularly from US President Donald Trump.
