Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil made the announcement on his Twitter account following a meeting with Algerian Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Mohammed Abdelhafid Henni, who arrived in the Bolivarian Republic the day before.
Gil explained that the delegations of both countries are working on the review of more than 20 draft cooperation agreements in the fields of agriculture, aviation, trade, science, technology, tourism, industry and broad cooperation in the political field.
He also reiterated President Nicolás Maduro’s invitation to his Algerian counterpart, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, to visit Caracas, noting that “we are the best friends in all of history,” the State Department said.
Abdelhafid Henni pointed out that the meeting in Venezuela expressed the importance of the relations between the two states, both politically and economically and commercially.
He believed that this high-level mixed commission, which deals with all issues affecting both countries, will allow strengthening and strengthening of bilateral relations.
Caracas and Algiers have had ties for 52 years and with the arrival of Commander Hugo Chávez (1954-2023) these expanded exponentially, with the development of official working visits, two meetings for political consultations and the holding of three mixed commissions, as he wells indicated .
These include exchanges of delegations, presidential meetings in multilateral fora, and South-South coordination mechanisms, both at high and technical levels.
The two countries have signed 28 legal instruments so far, including agreements, memoranda of understanding and cooperation programs in areas such as politics, culture, energy, trade, science, communications, law, transport, education and elections.
President Nicolás Maduro made an official visit to the North African nation last June as part of a Eurasia tour as the High-Level Joint Commission between the two countries was re-established to create a mutual-benefit cooperation map.
