Slovenian, Albania to beef up business Cooperation
LJUBLJANA, Oct. 28 (Xinhua) -- The presidents of Slovenia
and Albania reiterated here on Tuesday to upgrade bilateral economic
cooperation on the basis of good relationship between the two countries.
In talks with his Albanian counterpart Bujar Nishani, Slovenian President Borut Pahor said that there is great potential in Slovenia-Albania trade when the two countries enjoy excellent relations.
Both Slovenia and Albania are NATO member states. Slovenia, the first Balkan country to join the European Union, supports Albanian efforts for EU membership.
Currently, trade between Slovenia and Albania remains rather modest, with the latter ranking 61st place among the former's trade partners in terms of the volume of traded goods.
Slovenia's exports to Albania, mostly pharmaceuticals and food products, registered 35 million euros (44 million U.S. dollars) in 2013 as compared with 650,000 euros (828,863 U.S. dollars) in imports from Albania, according to Slovenian Press Agency's report.
Albania vowed to boost business cooperation with Slovenia when its Foreign Minister Ditmir Bushati was visiting Ljubljana in June.
