TIRANA, July 1 /ATA/ The Communications Cyber Command, part of the Albanian Armed Forces, marked today the 95th anniversary of the establishment of the Communications Service.

In his greeting speech, Nufi stressed that the Communications Service is a highly important and irreplaceable component of the Armed Forces, without which no operation can be carried out, as it ensures communications.

“As a NATO member state, Albania has a clear responsibility and ambitious goals. Today, our communications systems are interoperable with those of the Alliance, enabling secure and reliable communication in every joint operation. This is the result of your professionalism, as well as continuous investment in the modernisation of technologies and human development,” the minister said.
Minister of Defence Nufi expressed gratitude for Albania’s strategic partnership with the United States of America, as well as for all allies and partners who have supported the development of the country’s capabilities.
“Thanks to this cooperation, we have raised training standards, modernised infrastructure, and built capabilities that are now fully integrated into the security architecture of the Alliance,” the minister said.
He stressed that the modernisation of the Armed Forces remains a priority for the Albanian government, including investments in technology, critical infrastructure, and the professional development of personnel.
