The government of St Kitts-Nevis and Republic of Albania has signed an agreement to establish diplomatic relations at London on Wednesday.
During a ceremony at the St Kitts and Nevis High Commission in London, the High Commissioner of St Kitts and Nevis High Dr Kevin M. Isaac and Albanian Ambassador Qirjako Qirko signed a document to establish stronger collaboration and harmony between the two nations.
Last month alone, St Kitts and Nevis signed diplomatic agreements with Sao Tome and Principe, Bahrain, San Marino, and Togo.
To expand the Caribbean nation’s global footprint, Mark Brantley, Minister of Foreign Affairs for the Federation of St Kitts and Nevis, has worked extensively on the establishment of robust diplomatic ties with foreign nations. The result has been a stronger Federation, as well the betterment of Nevis, the island he has led as Premier since October 2017.
In September, Minister Brantley signed a mutual visa waiver agreement with his Gambian counterpart, penned a joint communiqué establishing formal diplomatic relations with São Tomé and Principe – from which he also secured the promise of a future visa waiver agreement, and held bilateral discussions with Estonia’s President.
The Caribbean Federation has also deepened bonds of international friendship and partnership with various nations by signing visa-free travel agreements, including, most recently, those signed with the Rwanda, Moldova, and Russia.
The twin-island had also signed travel agreements for holders of diplomatic passports with India and Indonesia, the latter of which already grants visa-free access to holders of ordinary Kittitian and Nevisian passports.
Albania, an official candidate for European Union membership, is one of the most successful countries in the Balkans, showcasing a low unemployment rate and strong economic growth.
