When we are separated a few days before the elections in the USA , the Democratic candidate, Kamala Harris , addressed an open letter to the Albanian-American community.
Among other things, Harris appreciates the strong connections of Albanians with the United States .
"Albanians in America have made valuable contributions to our nation for generations, showing a deep commitment to family, community and the struggle for freedom. There are hundreds of thousands of Albanians living in the United States, and the resilience of the American Albanian community continues to inspire us all," Harris begins her letter.
She appreciates the continuous contribution of Albanian Americans, who she says have already gone from workers, small businesses, to various professions, in medicine, in law, and everywhere in public services.
"Albanians have contributed profoundly to the fabric of our nation, enriching communities with their entrepreneurial spirit, strong family values, and deep commitment to education and civic engagement. From small business owners to professionals in medicine, law and public service, Albanian Americans have played a key role in developing local economies and strengthening the social fabric of towns and villages across the country."
Harris confirms the strong partnership between the United States and Albania, considering our country as a stable partner of NATO and as a country that promotes stability in the region.
"Albania is a stable NATO ally, and I am grateful to Albania for promoting stability in the region, as well as for its leadership in the UN Security Council in the months following Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine." Harris wrote, while emphasizing support for Kosovo's independence.
"The United States has also led European allies and partners to support the independence and historic sovereignty of the Republic of Kosovo and continues to support a multi-ethnic and democratic Kosovo, fully integrated into the international community."
