In June 1st, the Foreign Investors Association of Albania (FIAA) held its Annual Assembly Meeting. This Meeting was the first with physical presence of businesses after a long social distancing that society experienced due to the pandemic.
This event, along with the Assembly of Members launch, was also business nature and an opportunity for some informal networking which, was very helpful after such a long period of isolation, thus rejuvenating FIAA relationships and friendships in a conducive and relaxed environment.
FIAA-s President Mr. Constantin von ALVENSLEBEN in his speech shared an overview of the very unusual and unprecedented year to all the world which though, thankfully brought business representatives together again, sound and well.
