Algiers, Algeria | August 6th, 2024 — On August 6, 2024, Algerian Minister of Energy and Mines, Mohamed Arkab, commenced a working visit to Niger, which will continue through August 7, 2024. This visit, initiated at the invitation of Niger’s Minister of Petroleum, Mahaman Moustapha Barké, aims to fortify and expand bilateral cooperation in the energy sector.
Objectives of the Visit
Minister Arkab is accompanied by a high-level delegation that includes the CEO of Sonatrach, Algeria’s state-owned oil and gas giant, along with key officials from both Sonatrach and the Ministry of Energy and Mines. The visit underscores Algeria’s dedication to deepening its partnership with Niger, particularly focusing on energy and mining sectors.
Throughout his visit, Arkab will engage in meetings and discussions with Nigerien officials, including Minister Barké, to assess and enhance cooperation opportunities. A key objective is to advance bilateral initiatives in the energy sector, particularly in hydrocarbons. This visit aligns with Sonatrach’s strategic ambition to broaden its international footprint, especially within the African energy market.
Strategic Importance of the Visit
Arkab’s visit highlights Algeria’s strategic intent to expand its energy presence across Africa. By reactivating and strengthening its engagement in Niger, Sonatrach aims to capitalize on new opportunities and build stronger economic and energy relations between the two nations.
This engagement is part of Algeria’s broader strategy to solidify its role as a significant player in regional energy dynamics. Enhancing ties with Niger could lead to collaborative projects and investments, contributing to the economic growth and energy security of both countries.
