The American Chamber of Commerce gathered its members and collaborators to celebrate a year of hard work and achievements, alongside its strategic partner, the U.S. Embassy. This year-end celebration tradition offers an opportunity to connect and celebrate the cooperation that contributes to the organization’s success.
“Together, we have worked not only to address the daily challenges you face, but also to drive positive changes that benefit everyone,” said Mr. Neritan Mullaj, Executive Director of the American Chamber, in his welcoming speech. He expressed gratitude to all the members, emphasizing that they are not just participants in the Chamber’s activities but also dedicated professionals who contribute their expertise.
The gathering was also addressed by the President of the American Chamber, Mr. Grant Van Cleve, who highlighted the strong U.S.-Albania relations. He pointed out that Albania stands out as the most pro-American country in the region, which is reflected in the growing interest of American investments in the country.
“We are excited as we approach 2025, working to further strengthen the relationship between our two countries, a bond reflected in the increasing interest from American investors. At the same time, we look forward to celebrating the 25th anniversary of our organization,” President Grant Van Cleve stated.
Ms. Nancy VanHorn, Chargé d’Affaires at the U.S. Embassy, also shared a warm greeting and special thanks to the Chamber’s members. She emphasized that not only is Albania the most pro-American country, but the U.S. is also the most pro-Albanian country. She expressed optimism that 2025 will be an exceptional year for both countries, especially for the American Chamber as it prepares to celebrate its 25th anniversary. Ms. VanHorn also praised the organization’s significant contribution, not only to its members but also to the overall development and prosperity of Albania.
The evening was filled with a warm atmosphere, with music from the band of Artur Dhamo and Altin Goci, and a carefully selected menu, which created an excellent environment for networking among members and collaborators.
