History

After the 2013 elections, Foreign Minister Ditmir Bushati announced that the government would close a part of their diplomatic missions due to an economic crisis. Consequently the embassies in Kuala Lumpur, Lisbon, Sarajevo, and New Delhi were closed.

In 2024, the Foreign Ministry announced plans of opening embassies in Jakarta and Nairobi, as well as reopening the embassy in New Delhi.
