After the 2019 Albania earthquake, the primate of the Orthodox Church of Albania received a letter of solidarity from Rev Olav Fykse Tveit on behalf of the WCC, which affirms that "the poignant images of devastation and destruction grieve us greatly, as do the accounts of families left destitute by this event, especially as winter fast approaches". It concludes that the WCC asks him "to share our message of support and condolence with Christians and with all people of good will in Albania, including religious communities of other faiths with whom you work so closely."
