The World : Albania Rejects New Ties

Communist Albania, reasserting its political enmity toward both the United States and the Soviet Union, again ruled out diplomatic or other relations with the superpowers. “The foreign policy of socialist Albania will continue to be resolute, in the future, against all the aggressive and expansionist activity of the U.S.A. and the Soviet Union, against militarism and war preparations,” said the Communist Party daily Zeri i Popullit. According to a report by the state-run ATA news agency monitored in Vienna, the paper denounced the “decadent culture and the mode of living that they advertise all over the world.”
