The Ambassador of the United States to Albania, Yuri Kim, is one of the most surprising diplomats outside the office, visiting and meeting ordinary people, or of different professions.

The American chief diplomat in Tirana recently visited the studio of Leon Çika, a well-known Albanian photographer and painter.

“US Ambassador Yuri Kim supports Albanian artists,” writes Çika on Facebook, who stands out as a landscape painter, a painter of nature and traditional architecture, and an artistic photographer.

A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts Albania, in Tirana, Leon Çika, has also successfully realized photo exhibitions and has received several awards.
