The Algerian presidency revealed that Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune will make an official visit to France between the end of September and the beginning of October 2024, after it was postponed due to the lack of “appropriate conditions”.
The presidency announced in a statement that the country’s president received on Monday a phone call from his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron, during which they touched on “bilateral relations and issues of an internal and international dimension.”
The Algerian presidency explained that President Tebboune expressed during the call “his deep concern over the developments in occupied Palestine, especially in Gaza,” and the conversation dealt with joint economic prospects that benefit the two countries, especially agriculture, energy and rare earths, and the railway industry.
The announcement of the Algerian presidency comes with another statement by the Elysee confirming the visit of the Algerian president, after it was postponed due to the lack of “appropriate conditions”, as the visit was scheduled for the beginning of May 2023, but it was postponed to June of the same year, and demonstrations in France in protest against the retirement law led to its postponement again.
French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin visited Algeria last November, where he was received by Algerian President Tebboune, and discussed in particular “the fight against organized crime”, “migrations” and “the repercussions of the crisis” in the Middle East.
It is noteworthy that a number of former Algerian presidents made official visits to France, where President Chadli Bendjedid visited France on December 17, 1982, and this was the first visit of an Algerian president to France since independence, and the late President Abdelaziz Bouteflika visited Paris on June 16 and 17, 2001.
