Algiers, Algeria | December 4th, 2024 —  In a meeting underscoring the growing diplomatic engagement between Algeria and Latin America, Brahim Boughali, President of the Algerian People’s National Assembly (APN), was warmly received by Rolando Patricio Gonzalez, President of the Parliament of Latin America and the Caribbean (Parlatino), at the Parlatino headquarters in Panama City, Panama, on Tuesday, December 3, 2024. The discussions centered on reinforcing the existing cooperation between the two parliamentary institutions and exploring opportunities for greater collaboration on key international issues.

A Convergence of Visions

During the meeting, Boughali and Gonzalez highlighted the convergence of their views on a range of matters of mutual interest, particularly the strengthening of parliamentary cooperation in global forums. The dialogue marked a significant step in Algeria’s active role within international parliamentary platforms. Boughali conveyed his admiration for Parlatino’s significant achievements and presented his best wishes to Gonzalez in honor of the 60th anniversary of the founding of this prestigious regional parliament.

As part of the ongoing efforts to promote closer ties between Algeria and Latin America, Boughali emphasized the importance of opening a comprehensive Arab-Latin American dialogue. He stressed that Algeria, in its capacity as an observer member of Parlatino and as the current president of the Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union (UIPA), would work toward strengthening this relationship and contributing positively to Latin America’s parliamentary landscape.

Algeria’s Membership: A Milestone Achievement

In a notable development, Boughali underscored Algeria’s recent membership in Parlatino as one of the organization’s most significant accomplishments of 2024. This step signals Algeria’s growing diplomatic presence in the region and its commitment to fostering deeper political and economic ties with Latin American countries. Both leaders agreed that intensifying coordination between regional parliaments on the international stage was crucial, particularly in shaping decisions that have a lasting global impact.

The Algerian delegation also stressed the pivotal role of national and regional parliaments in shaping international policies, recognizing the vital role these bodies play in decision-making processes at both the regional and global levels. The meeting was a testament to Algeria’s dedication to fortifying multilateral cooperation, with a focus on leveraging its status as an observer in Parlatino to drive constructive dialogue on issues that matter to both regions.

A Promising Future of Cooperation

At the conclusion of the visit, Boughali signed the Parlatino guestbook, symbolizing the intent to build strong and promising relationships between Algeria and Latin American nations. The signing ceremony was attended by several prominent figures, including Algeria’s Ambassador to Managua, Ali Menguellati, and members of the Algerian parliamentary delegation, including Rachid Bouamri, Merouane Refice, and Ali Moualhi, highlighting the importance of Algeria’s expanding diplomatic footprint in Latin America.

This meeting exemplifies the positive trajectory of Algeria’s international diplomatic engagements and its commitment to fostering cooperation with regional bodies such as Parlatino, which serves as a vital platform for inter-parliamentary dialogue in the Americas.
