Canada

Albania and Canada are members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Canada supports Albania in its euro-integration path.

History

Both countries established diplomatic relations on 10 September 1987.[1] In April 2001, the Albanian embassy was opened for the first time in Ottawa. This act helped on strengthening the relations between Canada and Albania. The year 2012 was named as "Year of Albania" in Canada, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Independence. Many activities were held by the Albanian community in Canada, which highlighted the friendship and ties between the countries.
