""The decision by the Republic of Albania to grant Mayor Adams citizenship reflects that enduring relationship and mutual respect," spokesperson Todd Shapiro told Associated Press, adding that it "further strengthens the bond between New York and Albania.""
"Adams has often portrayed himself as a globally minded leader, having made multiple international trips during and after his time in office. He previously visited Albania, describing the purpose of one trip as an effort "to say hello to a friend and learn from a friend and build a relationship with a friendship that will not allow our oceans or seas to divide us.""
Eric Adams, former mayor of New York City, has been granted honorary citizenship by Albania, highlighting his connection with Albanian communities. This citizenship was approved by Albanian President Bajram Begaj and signifies a deepening relationship between New York and Albania. Adams has expressed a desire to relocate internationally after his political career, mentioning interests in living in Baku and the Golan Heights. His international travels have faced scrutiny, particularly regarding allegations of accepting improper travel benefits, which were dismissed by the Justice Department.
