"Rroftë miqësia shqiptaro-kineze": faded slogan on a building at Porto Palermo
A low whitewashed building on the Porto Palermo shore with a long line of faded red capital lettering along its upper wall, above window openings and a row of straw parasols stacked in front. The letters are partly worn away; the slogan, as given on Commons, proclaims long life to the Albanian-Chinese friendship.

Text on the object
RROFTË MIQËSIA SHQIPTARO-KINEZE
Long live the Albanian-Chinese friendship
Wording taken from the Commons file description, which gives it without diacritics ('RROFTE MIQESIA SHQIPTARO-KINEZE'); on the image the lettering is worn and only part is legible, so diacritics are supplied from standard Albanian spelling.
