Sahit Muja - Chairman & CEO, Albanian Minerals

Sahit Muja discusses the significance of the Priority Summit being held in Tirana, highlighting Albania's rich mineral resources, including chromium and green magnesium, which are critical to European and US national security. He expresses pride in Albania's potential contributions to Europe, despite not being a member of the European Union. Muja notes that Europe is not fully utilizing its mineral opportunities, as factories have been dismantled and reliance on China has increased. He emphasizes Albania's self-sufficiency in green energy and eco-friendly mineral production, which is negative in CO2 emissions. The ongoing trade war and geoeconomic shifts highlight the need for Europe to become self-sufficient in mineral resources. Muja believes Europe has the potential to evolve by investing in science, technology, and minerals within the Balkans. He criticizes the lack of European investment in Albanian resources since World War II, hoping for change after the FII.
