Algiers, Algeria | November 25th, 2024 — In a significant step toward deepening bilateral relations, Algeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and National Community Abroad, Ahmed Attaf, hosted Ibrahim Azizi, President of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of Iran’s Islamic Consultative Assembly, in Algiers on Monday. This high-level meeting underscored the shared resolve of Algeria and Iran to enhance their diplomatic ties and address pressing regional and international challenges collaboratively.

According to a statement issued by the Algerian Foreign Ministry, the discussions were characterized by mutual respect and a strong commitment to elevating the longstanding relations between the two nations. The dialogue focused on consolidating parliamentary diplomacy as a pivotal tool for strengthening cooperation across various domains. Both parties expressed their determination to leverage this avenue to achieve greater coordination on issues of mutual interest.

A central aspect of the meeting was an in-depth exchange on pressing geopolitical issues, particularly the escalating situation in the Middle East. With the ongoing war in Gaza and the intensification of Zionist aggression across the region, the talks reflected a unified stance in condemning the violence and advocating for an immediate cessation of hostilities. Algeria and Iran reaffirmed their unwavering support for the Palestinian cause and emphasized the necessity of global efforts to halt the humanitarian crisis inflicted by the prolonged aggression.

Minister Attaf and President Azizi also explored mechanisms to enhance the diplomatic footprint of both nations within international forums, underscoring the importance of multilateral cooperation in addressing global challenges. The discussions further delved into economic and cultural collaboration, with both sides agreeing to expedite measures aimed at fostering stronger people-to-people connections and trade partnerships.

This visit is emblematic of the robust relationship that has historically united Algeria and Iran. Rooted in a shared history of resistance against colonialism and imperialism, the partnership between the two nations continues to thrive, driven by common values of sovereignty, justice, and solidarity with oppressed peoples.
