The visit began with a ceremonial reception at Heroes’ Square in Budapest, a site of historical significance.

The ceremony honoured the sacrifices of the Albanian and Hungarian armed forces and underscored what officials described as shared values of freedom, peace and collective security.

During the visit, the two sides highlighted their joint commitment within the framework of the NATO alliance, as well as cooperation between their troops serving alongside each other in key international missions, including Kosovo Force (KFOR) and European Union Force in Bosnia and Herzegovina (EUFOR ALTHEA).

The visit reaffirmed what the ministry called a shared willingness to further strengthen bilateral ties in defence and security and to deepen cooperation in support of regional and Euro-Atlantic stability.

The Munich Security Conference remains one of the most important international forums, bringing together political leaders, security experts and representatives of global organisations to discuss current challenges and the future of the Euro-Atlantic order.

During his meetings on sidelines of the Conference, Vengu emphasised the importance of unity and coordination in collective defence and reaffirmed Albania’s commitment to actively contributing to joint missions and security initiatives.

He also participated in roundtable discussions with leaders of international defence and innovation companies to explore concrete cooperation opportunities and further development of Albania’s defence industry.

Vengu’s participation was described as an important platform to advance national interests and strengthen Albania’s role as a reliable partner in European peace and security architecture.
