Algerian Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf visited Chad's capital, N'Djamena, on November 3 to enhance bilateral relations with Chad. He was received by Chadian President Mahamat Idriss Déby, and the two officials discussed the implementation of 27 agreements signed in April during the fourth Algerian-Chadian mixed commission. These agreements aim to strengthen cooperation in various sectors, including economy and security.
One of the priority projects is the construction of a 40-megawatt power plant in N'Djamena, for which the foundation stone was laid in June. The project is expected to improve the energy infrastructure in Chad and support the country's economic development. Attaf also conveyed greetings from Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune to his Chadian counterpart and expressed satisfaction with the growing rapprochement between the two nations.
Security issues were also high on the agenda, with Attaf and his Chadian counterpart, Ahmat Kogri, discussing the terrorist threat and regional instability in the Sahel region. Both countries share a common vision on security, stability, and development issues, and they aim to harness the economic potential of the Sahel-Saharan region. Algeria and Chad have been working together to combat terrorism and promote stability in the region.
Although no new agreements were signed during Attaf's visit, the two countries intend to accelerate the implementation of existing commitments and deepen their partnership in both economic and security domains. This cooperation is seen as crucial in addressing the challenges facing the region, including terrorism, poverty, and underdevelopment. The two nations are committed to strengthening their bilateral ties.
The visit by Attaf is part of Algeria's efforts to enhance its diplomatic relations with neighboring countries and to promote regional stability. Algeria has been playing an active role in regional and international efforts to combat terrorism and promote peace and stability in the Sahel region. The country has also been working to strengthen its economic ties with Chad and other neighboring countries.
Chad has been facing significant security challenges, including the threat of terrorism and banditry. The country has also been working to improve its economic development, with a focus on diversifying its economy and reducing its dependence on oil exports. The cooperation with Algeria is seen as an important step in supporting Chad's development efforts.
The strengthened cooperation between Algeria and Chad is expected to have a positive impact on the region, promoting stability and economic development. The two countries will continue to work together to address regional challenges and to promote their bilateral relations. This cooperation is seen as a key factor in promoting peace and stability in the Sahel region.
