A vanguard headquarters of the US Army Special Operations Command in Europe will be stationed in Albania.
US Ambassador Yuri Kim called the Pentagon decision an extraordinary way to start the new year with this important development in the relationship between the US and Albania in the field of defense.
Ambassador Kim emphasizes that this is the first time that the US has set up a headquarters of this kind in Albania.
According to her, this development is important for regional security.
The US Embassy in Tirana says that this new headquarters of the US Army Special Operations Command was made possible thanks to the extraordinary support of the Albanian government and the Ministry of Defense.
Prime Minister Edi Rama called this development a super-news.
“It is an expression of a very high level of credibility. Expression of a very close cooperation and on this occasion I want to thank him publicly, something that I do not like, to be honest, when I do but when it should be done should be done, because ambassadors do their job and this mania of thanking the ambassadors is something we should part with, but really Ambassador Yuri Kim should be thanked for the tremendous relief she has given to this interaction. We were looking forward to the release of this good news, even for those who complain to us, “where are our weapons, where are our helicopters, where are our rifles, where are our cobras”. We are not just a NATO member, but we are already a country with the headquarters of the United States Special Operations Command in Europe“, Said Rama.
Albania, according to this command, greatly reduces travel time and increases the flexibility of special operations and conventional forces in the region. This would not have been possible without the extraordinary support of the Albanian government and the professionalism of the Albanian army.
“The ability to move and train rapidly within the Balkans, in close cooperation with other allied and partner forces, made Albania the best location for this effort.” said Major General David H. Tabor, Commander of the Special Operations Command in Europe.
