🇷🇺🇩🇿 President Vladimir Putin held talks in the Kremlin with President of the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria Abdelmadjid Tebboune, who is in Russia on a state visit.

The agenda covered matters related to promoting strategic cooperation between Russia and Algeria in various sectors, as well as major international issues, including the situation in the Middle East and North Africa.

💬 Vladimir Putin: Our country attaches special importance to its relations with Algeria, which can be described as strategic ties.

#RussiaAlgeria interaction is truly multifaceted and has a tangible potential for further development. Mr President, following our talks we will sign a declaration on deepening strategic partnership between Russia and Algeria, which will launch a new, more advanced stage in our bilateral relations.

🌍 Algeria is among Russia’s top three trading partners in Africa. As far as I know, yesterday you must have attended the Russia—Algeria business forum. I hope that there will be increasing interest from both sides in such events. Looking ahead, I would like to say that we will be happy to see you at the second #RussiaAfrica Summit in St Petersburg in late July.

I would also like to note that Russia-Algeria coordination at multilateral forums and organisations is at a good level as well. Our efforts in OPEC Plus and the Gas Exporting Countries Forum are facilitating stabilisation of the global energy markets.

🇺🇳 We continue our constructive cooperation at other venues, in particular, the UN. I hope that with Algeria’s election as a Security Council member for 2024–2025, our interaction will only become stronger.

🎙 President Vladimir Putin’s statement for the media following talks with President of Algeria Abdelmadjid Tebboune.

Key talking points:

🇷🇺🇩🇿 Russian-Algerian relations are truly constructive and mutually beneficial. They rest on respect and consideration for each other’s interests, and we continue developing them in the spirit of friendship and mutual support.

🔹 Joint work is underway to expand the practice of carrying out transactions in national currencies, which will help shield bilateral trade from the influence of third countries and the negative developments in the global currency markets.

🔹 Russia and Algeria are successfully expanding energy cooperation. Large Russian energy companies have been operating in the Algerian market for a long time. Algeria is interested in the development of national nuclear energy.

🔹 There are good opportunities for Russian-Algerian business cooperation. Russia is ready not only to supply equipment and organise its after-sales maintenance but also to localise production in Algeria and to educate Algerian professionals.

🔹 Russia and Algeria are striving to coordinate their positions within multilateral associations. Considering that next year Algeria will receive non-permanent UN Security Council member status, we are motivated to intensify our interaction on all urgent issues on the UN agenda.

🔹 We maintain a regular dialogue with our Algerian partners on a wide range of issues related to current security challenges and threats in the African region and the world at large.
