Hoxha with DiCarlo on Western Balkans stability: Albania committed to the UN Charter

Albanian Minister of Foreign Affairs Ferit Hoxha met with United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum, where they discussed regional stability in the Western Balkans.

Very pleased to reconnect at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum 2026 with a friend, former colleague, and distinguished diplomat, Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo,” Hoxha wrote on the social network X.

He added that the world we live in and the current state of multilateralism leave no shortage of issues to discuss, from global security dynamics to regional stability in the Western Balkans, as well as the importance of strengthening cooperation and preserving the rules-based international order.

“I reaffirmed Albania’s strong partnership with the United Nations, and our commitment to the principles of the UN Charter, alongside the need to address evolving threats to peace and security. We continue to work closely with the UN Country Team in Albania in key areas that directly support our top national priority—EU accession under Horizon 2030—particularly in the context of Albania’s upcoming Voluntary National Review in July,” Hoxha concluded.
