Algeria seeks greater econ. ties with Iran

Medelci on Sunday described the level of political and cultural relations between the two countries as satisfactory, stressing the need for further business cooperation between Algiers and Tehran.

He said officials from both countries are willing to promote the bilateral relations in all areas including trade, industry and agriculture.

Last month, the Algerian ambassador to Tehran also said that Iran and Algeria enjoy “very good” relationships in various spheres and are making efforts to strengthen the ties.

“The level of relations between Iran and Algeria is very good, and political consultations are regularly being held between the two countries at all levels. Over the past years, bilateral relations have developed in an atmosphere of trust, mutual respect, and equality of interests of the two countries,” Sofiane Mimouni said late in May.

The Algerian diplomat in Iran added that the volume of bilateral trade is not satisfactory and needs a boost as the two countries have signed more than 40 agreements to enhance economic ties.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Mimouni said, “The Islamic Republic of Iran has announced that expanding ties with African countries is a priority in its foreign policy, an attitude welcomed by African countries. We hope to see a high level of cooperation between Iran and African countries.”
