Algerian Prime Minister Sifi Ghrieb recently inaugurated two new quality control laboratories at the port and international airport of Algiers. The new facilities aim to strengthen the country's border control and protect public health. According to the Prime Minister, these laboratories were created on the instructions of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune and will play a strategic role in securing the national economy on modern and scientific bases.
The laboratories are expected to accelerate customs inspections while facilitating the transit of goods. The Prime Minister stated that these structures will enable the country to reduce the time it takes to analyze goods, with results available in just a few hours. This will significantly improve the logistics chain and reduce delays in the release of goods. The facilities will also help verify that goods comply with current regulations before they are made available to consumers.
The new laboratories represent a significant addition to the country's economy and will actively contribute to preserving citizens' health and safety. They will also enhance the national analysis capacity and enable the examination of goods to ensure they meet the required standards. The Prime Minister emphasized that these facilities have been equipped with the necessary human resources to protect the national economy using Algerian expertise.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by government members, a representative from the Ministry of National Defense, the Minister and Wali of Algiers, Mohamed Abdenour Rabehi, and officials from the Algiers port and airport. The Prime Minister expressed his gratitude to the Ministry of National Defense for the rapid construction of the laboratories, which took 40 days for the airport laboratory and 60 days for the port laboratory.
The Prime Minister reiterated the state's commitment to equipping these infrastructures with the necessary technological means to accomplish their tasks optimally, in line with President Abdelmadjid Tebboune's instructions. He also announced that this strategic approach will be generalized to different ports and border posts across the country to consolidate the protection of the national economy.
The new laboratories will help prevent the entry of goods that could harm citizens' health and protect the national economy. The Prime Minister emphasized that these facilities will enable the country to take a proactive approach to controlling the quality of goods and ensuring compliance with regulations. This move is expected to have a positive impact on the country's economy and public health.
The implementation of these new laboratories demonstrates the government's commitment to enhancing border control and protecting public health.
