The United States of America has delivered a significant number of Javelin anti-tank missiles to Albania, one of the most advanced systems in the world.
U.S. official Nancy VanHorn described the delivery as an important step in the partnership between the U.S. and Albania for regional security. She stated:
“This demonstrates our commitment to regional security. The Javelin system is highly advanced and fulfills Albania’s objectives for collective defense.”
She added: “The security environment we all face requires every ally to do their part. We are proud to be a partner in these efforts.”
VanHorn also praised the work of outgoing Defense Minister Pirro Vengu, saying:
“The Minister has been a strong partner of the U.S. in recent months. Thank you for your work.”
