Minister Hattab welcomed the Nigerien students, emphasizing that they are not just guests but rather "sons and daughters of brothers" in their second homeland, Algeria. He expressed his hope that they would carry with them the knowledge and experiences gained in Algeria and become bridges between the two nations and the African continent.
