“I express my sorrow for the lives lost in the terrorist attack in Kabul, where among the victims are US military evacuation teams and Afghan civilians trying to escape,” Peleshi said in his reaction.

“Albania stands by its US allies in this dark moment and expresses its gratitude for the determination of the allied action to save the innocent lives of Afghan citizens fleeing a violent and threatening regime,” Peleshi said.

“I also mourn the loss of innocent lives of Afghan men, women and children who were killed in this terrorist attack. Such events confirm the need for solidarity and the necessary help for these unfortunate people as well as the justice of our decision-making as a state for the reception of Afghan refugees”, concluded Peleshi. /a.a/p.s./
