The findings reveal that Albania and Italy had established contacts before the 1900s, enabling cross-national collaboration. Italy's acceptance of migrants has played a significant role in facilitating Albanian migration. Currently, Italy and Albania are active partners with robust economic relations, and they possess a comprehensive understanding of each other's policies and situations result from migration and exchange. The two nations have also established institutional communication channels. However, the study identifies the lack of innovative policies linking migration to development as a shortcoming that requires immediate attention. The national strategy should prioritize integration, particularly in non-immigration-related administration. The country-pair analyzed in this study may not be the optimal choice for implementing development-friendly migration policies. Successful Albanian immigrants have mostly made return investments without any government support, relying on their entrepreneurial abilities to identify promising sectors and secure financing.
