She said that many things are said about Albanians, but when the world goes through situations it should take notice of, Albanians offer “bread, salt and heart.”

“It’s a wonderful way to think about history, culture and art. There are many things that are said about Albanians and Albania, but for me, the truth that stands out among them is what is said about Albanians and Albania as people of hospitality and courage. “Whenever someone is in need, Albanians step up to help. They did it during World War II, they do it again now,” Kim said alluding to the hospitality for Afghans.

“And in situations when the world goes through in moments when it really has to take note of, Albanians are ready to offer bread, salt and heart. I am really very proud to be among you, but I also know as a human being, if I ever happen to be in need, I know the place where I can find shelter, I will come to Albania. These are the lessons the world needs to learn from this small country. “As I mentioned, it is a small place with a big heart”, said Kim./j.p/sm/
