TALLINN, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) -- Albania's President Bajram Begaj arrived in Estonia on Thursday for a high-level visit aimed at reinforcing ties with Estonia and advancing Albania's European Union (EU) accession efforts.
In Tallinn, Begaj held talks with his Estonian counterpart Alar Karis, where Karis reiterated Estonia's strong support for the Western Balkan nations' integration into the EU, highlighting Albania's strategic role.
"Integrating the Western Balkans into the European Union is an investment in Europe's overall peace," Karis emphasized during the meeting, pointing to the importance of regional stability amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
Begaj further engaged in talks with Estonia's parliamentary speaker, Lauri Hussar, focusing on security cooperation, economic relations, and shared support for Ukraine.
The visit follows Begaj's recent diplomatic engagements in Latvia earlier this week. ■
