TIRANA, February 7 – The Ambassador of the United States of America in Tirana, Yuri Kim, said that the 50 million dollars that her country has given Albania to strengthen cyber defense is only the beginning.
“The US condemned Iran and expressed full support for Albania in the face of this attack. Starting from July, the US has continuously sent our best experts without interruption to work with the Albanians to analyze, identify possible weaknesses and take measures,” said Kim.
She said that the Albanian Minister of Defense discussed the joint response of the two countries for cyber security with the American Secretary of Defense two weeks ago. “You are not alone in responding to a cyber attack. We must identify our collective defense. There are 50 million dollars in support of Albania’s cyber defense and this is just the beginning,” said Kim.
Underlining once again that the US will do everything for Albania to defend itself, Kim said that Albania and other Western countries should be prepared as attacks from Iran and others will continue.
“Attacks from Iran and others will continue to be a threat in the future, they will not disappear. We must bear this in mind. There is no magic ‘bullet’ to make it go away,” said Ambassador Kim. /Argumentum.al
