he video of this incident has been posted on social media. In the 2-minute 8-second video, it can be seen that seeing Georgia Meloni coming, Eddie Rama sits down on his knees. He was holding gifts in both hands. Seeing Eddie Rama sitting, Meloni reaches him with quick steps and accepts the gift. After this Eddie Rama gets up.

Rama and Meloni have a good working relationship
Let us tell you that Rama and Meloni's political beliefs are opposite to each other. Despite this, they have a good working relationship. Meloni leads Italy's right-wing Brothers Party. Rama, on the other hand, is the head of Albania's Socialist Party. Meloni had signed an agreement with Rama last year. Under this, some migrants caught by Italy via sea will be sent to detention centres in Albania. These centres are currently inactive due to legal challenges.
At the summit on Wednesday, Italy, Albania and the United Arab Emirates signed a 1 billion euro (Rs 8,895 crore) deal to build an undersea interconnection for renewable energy in the Adriatic Sea.
