USS Donald Cook (DDG 75) arrived in Durres

On Thursday, June 26, the guided-missile destroyer USS Donald Cook (DDG 75) arrived in Durres, Albania for a port visit. This visit is just one of many examples of our exemplary U.S.-Albanian military to military cooperation, and continues the U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa/U.S. Sixth Fleet's efforts to strengthen maritime partnerships in order to enhance regional stability. While the ship is in port, the USS Donald Cook will be conducting a maritime interdiction operations exchange with their counterparts from the Albanian Navy, Border Police, and Customs Service. Senior officers and officials from the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Embassy, and the Albanian government and military will take this opportunity to discuss regional cooperation by the two nations. Visits like this one help our two militaries build common knowledge of maritime tactics, professionalism, cultural understanding and trust and help strengthen the relationship between our nations.
