WE AIM TO CONTINUE OUR POSITIVE RELATIONS AT ALL TIMES

Stating that relations between Algeria and Türkiye are based on deep-rooted historical and cultural ties, Minister of Justice Tunç added as follows;

"Algeria is one of the most important trade partners of our country in Africa. The visits of our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to Algeria in 2018 and 2020 gave a new momentum to our relations. During our President’s visit in 2020, establishment of a high-level cooperation council between our countries was decided. During the visit in 2022, 15 agreements together with a joint declaration were signed. In the aftermath of this process, following the visit of the President of Algeria in July last year, the visit of our President to his friend and brother Algeria in November also raised the relations between our countries with a shared cultural heritage to the highest level. We aim to continue these positive relations at all times. Thanks to the bond of friendship and brotherhood between us and Algeria, which we attach importance to in the North African geography, our cooperation is increasingly developing in every field from past to present."

WE WELCOME YOUR SUPPORT IN OUR FIGHT AGAINST FETÖ/PDY (Parallel State Structure) TERRORIST ORGANISATION

Mentioning the joint works of the Higher School for the Judiciary of Algeria and the Justice Academy of Türkiye, Minister Tunç emphasized judicial cooperation between the two countries and added that “As you know, mutual legal assistance requests between our respective countries are executed within the scope of the bilateral agreement. We believe that maintaining close dialogue between our countries will significantly contribute to the continuation of cooperation. For this reason, I would like to stress that your support and cooperation in our fight against FETÖ/PDY terrorist organization is pleasing.”

ALGERIA AND TÜRKİYE SHARE THE SAME IDEALS

Making evaluations after the meeting, Algerian Minister Abderrachid Tabbi reminded the signing of the Friendship Cooperation Agreement between the two countries and stated that “Algeria and Türkiye share the same ideas, ideals and Islamic values. The friendship between our countries was further strengthened by the Friendship Cooperation Agreement signed in 2006. Our long standing strong cooperation has been moving ever stronger recently and especially in the last few months. Thanks to the dynamics of the dialogue running at such a high and good level, our existing relations stand at a very good point”.
