Today is the anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations between our country and the United States of America. The formal request of the State Department in Washington for the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries had been deposited in March 1920 by the Government of Tirana, but only on 28 July 1922, the first diplomatic representatives, Grand Smith and Abdyl Sula, as the head of our consulate in New York, was exchanged between the parties. The diplomatic relations between our two countries were cut off by Washington after the occupation of Albania by fascist Italy in 1939 and rebuilt after half a century in 1991.
