The Commission of Foreign Relations at the US Congress has approved the appointing of Yuri Kim as the US Ambassador to Albania. Her appointment will have to be approved by the Senate before becoming official.

Mrs.Kim was appointed by President Donald Trump by June 2019. In a session in front of the foreign Committee, she said that she would encourage the country leaders to resolve the current political stalemate, in order to strengthen the perspectives for opening the Eu accession negotiations.

Mrs.Kim added that she would also encourage Albania to implement the judiciary reforms, including the vetting of judges and prosecutors, and the creation of special structures for the fight against corruption and organized crime.
