During a June 2007 visit to the predominantly Muslim[385] Albania, Bush was greeted enthusiastically. Albania has a population of 2.8 million,[386] has troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and the country's government is highly supportive of American foreign policy.[387] A huge image of the President was hung in the middle of the capital city of Tirana flanked by Albanian and American flags while a local street was named after him.[388][389] A shirt-sleeved statue of Bush was unveiled in Fushë-Krujë, a few kilometers northwest of Tirana.
