During a recent interview with national press representatives, the President highlighted Algeria's foreign policy, which is based on respecting state sovereignty, non-interference in internal affairs, adherence to international legality, and a preference for dialogue and peaceful solutions.

The President emphasized that preserving stability in the Sahel region requires development, as poverty and the absence of state institutions fuel chaos and terrorism. This statement underscores the Algerian government's stance on the interconnectedness of economic development and regional security. By prioritizing development, Algeria aims to address the root causes of instability in the Sahel region.

President Tebboune also discussed Algeria's relations with neighboring countries, particularly in light of recent events in Niger. He revealed that Algeria had sent military aircraft to Niger after certain parties persisted in their maneuvers. The President expressed concern over the situation, noting that the Algerian government had been aware of the developments unfolding in the country.

The President's comments on Niger come in the context of a recent visit by Niger's Prime Minister, Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine, to Algeria. According to President Tebboune, Prime Minister Zeine had returned to Niger at night, just before a reported coup attempt. The President described the events as a provocation against Algeria, highlighting the country's interest in maintaining stability in the region.

Algeria's commitment to regional peace and stability is further demonstrated by its diplomatic efforts. The President stressed that Algeria's foreign policy is guided by a commitment to dialogue and peaceful solutions. This approach is reflective of the country's desire to promote a culture of peace and cooperation in the region.

The international community has taken note of Algeria's efforts to promote peace and stability in the region. The country's reputation as a respected actor in international affairs is a testament to its consistent diplomatic efforts. Algeria's dedication to regional security and development has earned it recognition as a key player in promoting peace and stability.

In conclusion, President Tebboune's recent statements reaffirm Algeria's commitment to promoting peace and stability in the region. The country's focus on development, dialogue, and peaceful solutions underscores its desire to address the root causes of instability in the Sahel region.
