At the meetings, Moisiu and Berisha expressed the hope that China and Albania would strengthen bilateral exchanges and cooperation, and said more Chinese enterprises are welcome to come and invest in Albania.

Albania attaches great importance to developing bilateral relations with China and will, as always, adhere to the one-China policy, Moisiu said.
