Kurti meets Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at European Political Community summit

Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti met his Canadian counterpart, Mark Carney, on the sidelines of the European Political Community (EPC) summit. They discussed bilateral relations, security and opportunities to expand cooperation between the two countries.

In a post about the meeting, Kurti said he had thanked Carney for Canada’s friendship and continued support for Kosovo. He recalled Canada’s acceptance of thousands of refugees from Kosovo in 1999, its participation in the NATO intervention, its contribution to the country’s reconstruction and development, its recognition of Kosovo’s independence and its support for Kosovo’s membership in international organizations.

Kurti also noted that, in March of this year, Kosovo sent a government delegation to the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention in Toronto, one of the world’s largest events for the mining sector.

According to Kurti, Canada, as a member of NATO and the G7, remains an important friend and partner of Kosovo in security, defense and the promotion of shared values.
