Participation in the UN General Assembly
According to the version made public, Rama will travel to take part in the annual General Assembly of the United Nations. This is the main element of the visit that has been confirmed so far in media reporting.
No further details have been given on high-level bilateral meetings, the topics expected to be raised, or the specific objectives the government aims to present during this visit.
