The American Chamber of Commerce has launched its 2025 events, marking the 25th anniversary of the Chamber, with a networking activity where members had the chance to participate in an online event hosted by the AmChams in Europe, focusing on business and transatlantic relations. The Chamber’s plans for 2025 and the engagement of its members were also key topics of discussion during this networking session.
The Executive Committee of the American Chambers of Commerce in Europe, along with the representative of the American Chamber of Commerce in Washington, discussed the economic policies the Trump administration plans to implement, particularly concerning the development of trade routes with Europe, the investment climate, and the expected economic developments on both sides of the Atlantic.
Representatives from ACE (American Chambers of Commerce in Europe) spoke about their expectations for the growth of relations with the United States, and how AmChams can work together to strengthen transatlantic ties during the Trump administration.
The meeting was opened by Executive Director Neritan Mullaj and Chamber President Grant Van Cleve. “Strengthening our relationship with the strategic partner, the United States, through cooperation with its Embassy, helps us promote the growth of trade relations and increases American investor interest in Albania. Our work extends beyond our borders, with collaboration between the American Chambers of Commerce in Europe and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce being key mechanisms connecting us to the global economy,” said Executive Director Neritan Mullaj in his remarks. Meanwhile, Grant Van Cleve, the President of the American Chamber, drawing on his experience as an American voter and businessman, emphasized Albania’s potential to become an attractive destination for American investors and a valuable partner for the United States, citing its geopolitical position, natural resources, the potential of key sectors to attract investments, and its reputation as the most pro-American country in the region.
