Albania, a prominent European country nestled alongside Greece to its south, boasts a population of 2.7 million and holds membership in NATO. “I am honoured by the confidence reposed in me by the Honorable Prime Minister Edi Rama,” remarked Mr Kukreja. “I look forward to leveraging this role to enhance and solidify the relations between our two countries, which have historically shared many cultural, linguistic, and historical ties.”

India and Albania, despite geographical distance, have historically found common ground through shared cultural practices, the Sanskrit language and countless other historical connections. Mr Kukreja aims to nurture further and develop these connections, leveraging his position to facilitate collaborations and exchanges between the two nations in various sectors. Mr. Kukreja’s extensive experience in architecture and urban planning, coupled with his passion for fostering international relations, positions him as a bridge-builder between India and Albania.
