"When Meloni speaks, it's taller than me"/ Rama jokes in Paris:

Prime Minister Edi Rama made jokes with the Italian moderator during his speech at the Paris Peace Forum. Rama described the Italians as Albanians wearing Versace.

Among other things, Rama also expressed appreciation for Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who he said is short, but when she speaks, she is taller than him.

"Europe should have its own autonomy, its own foreign policy, its own peace plan. I'm not saying give Putin everything he wants. I'm saying make war but also think about peace. I represent a country that is too small to play any kind of role to change the trajectory of something. I have to stand up for my thoughts and my country. But if the thoughts of those who have a very large country behind them are not right, that's a problem.

"Italians are Albanians wearing Versace. You have a prime minister, a great woman, as Trump would say, she is short, but when she speaks she is taller than me," Rama said. /CNA
