Algeria Gate: The President of the Republic, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, received on Thursday at the El Mouradia Palace the Nigerien Prime Minister, who arrived in Algeria at the head of a large ministerial delegation as part of efforts to strengthen relations between Algiers and Niamey.

This visit comes as Algeria is going through a painful period following the violent fires that have affected several wilayas in the center and east of the country.

At the beginning of the meeting, Abdelmadjid Tebboune and the Nigerien official observed a minute of silence in memory of the victims of these fires, in a gesture of solidarity and contemplation in the face of this national tragedy.

These fires, which broke out in several regions of the country, claimed several lives and mobilized significant human and material resources to bring the various blazes under control. The Algerian authorities also announced three days of national mourning, with flags flown at half-mast throughout the national territory.

The meeting between the two officials also highlighted the depth of relations between Algeria and Niger, based in particular on solidarity, good neighborliness and cooperation. This new step confirms the determination of both countries to strengthen their partnership and coordination on issues of common interest.

In this context particularly marked by mourning, the shared moment of silence at El Mouradia gave a strong human and symbolic dimension to this diplomatic encounter between Algeria and Niger.

Algeria Gate: Algerian Prime Minister Sifi Ghrieb held bilateral talks today at the Government Palace with the Prime Minister of the Republic of Niger, Ali Mahamane Lamine Zeine, who is on a working visit to Algeria at the head of a large delegation.

Following these discussions, an expanded meeting with the delegations of both countries made it possible to examine the various aspects of Algerian-Nigerien cooperation and to exchange views on several issues of common interest.

The two sides underlined the depth of the bonds of brotherhood, solidarity and good neighborliness that unite Algeria and Niger, hailing the unprecedented momentum that bilateral relations are experiencing in several fields, driven by the political will of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune and Nigerien President Abdourahamane Tiani.

Discussions also covered the state of progress of the agreements and joint projects concluded during the second session of the Algerian-Nigerien Joint Great Commission, held last March. The two countries reaffirmed their determination to accelerate the implementation of projects still underway.

In this framework, Algiers and Niamey intend to further strengthen their partnership and exploit their significant potential in the service of development and stability for the entire Sahel region.

Among the major continental projects mentioned are notably the Trans-Saharan gas pipeline, the Trans-Saharan road and the strategic Trans-Saharan fiber-optic link, regarded as major projects to strengthen regional integration and exchanges between the two countries.

Algeria Gate: President of the Republic Abdelmadjid Tebboune has extended his heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims of the devastating wildfires that have struck several wilayas across central and eastern Algeria.

In response to this national tragedy, President Tebboune has declared three days of national mourning, beginning today. Throughout the mourning period, national flags will be flown at half-mast across the country. All festive celebrations and national sporting competitions have also been suspended as Algeria mourns the victims of the fires.

In his message, President Tebboune expressed his deep sorrow at the loss of several citizens in these fires, describing the situation as a “difficult period” for the entire country.

He presented his sincere condolences to the bereaved families, praying to God to grant His mercy to the victims, to receive them among the martyrs and the righteous, and to grant patience and comfort to their loved ones. He also wished a speedy recovery to the injured.

“There is no power nor strength except in God. We belong to God and to Him we shall return,” the president concluded.

As a sign of solidarity and contemplation in the face of this tragedy, three days of national mourning have thus been decreed, with flags flown at half-mast and the suspension of celebrations and national sporting competitions.
