Dear WIIS members and friends,
For our June event, WIIS Austria was delighted to host an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation with H.E. Ambassador Eglantina Gjermeni, Permanent Representative of the Republic of Albania to the International Organizations in Vienna.
This event offered a rare opportunity to hear directly from one of Albania’s leading voices in multilateral diplomacy. The discussion touched on key themes, including:
▪️ Albania’s evolving role in international security and multilateral cooperation;
▪️ A personal and professional reflection on the path to diplomacy;
▪️ The importance of representation and inclusion in global decision-making;
▪️ Reflections on leadership, resilience, and the experiences of women navigating high-level diplomatic spaces.
We extend our sincere thanks to H.E. Gjermeni for her openness, insight, and generosity in sharing her experiences. A warm thank you as well to our attendees and community for contributing to a meaningful exchange.
We look forward to continuing these conversations and creating spaces where diverse perspectives in diplomacy and security can be heard and celebrated.
Kind regards,
WIIS Austria Team
