Algeria FM visits Iran
Iran’s foreign minister has hailed Algeria’s support for Palestine as he met with his Algerian counterpart in Tehran. In a joint presser, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian lauded Algeria for its objection to Israel’s observer status in the African Union. The objection had led to the expulsion of the regime’s delegation from the bloc’s summit in February. Amir-Abdollahian also pointed to the fighting in Sudan, calling for achieving a lasting ceasefire through dialogue. The top Iranian diplomat urged the expansion of ties between Tehran and Algiers in various areas including energy, industry and technology. Algerian Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf, for his part, called for boosting bilateral relations.
