Algiers, Algeria– Thursday, July 10, 2025 | On the sidelines of Algeria’s official accession to the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia (TAC), State Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, National Community Abroad, and African Affairs, Ahmed Attaf, held separate bilateral meetings in Kuala Lumpur with his counterparts from the Philippines and Timor-Leste.

Attaf met first with Philippine Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Maria Theresa Lazaro. Their discussions centered on revitalizing the Algerian-Philippine relationship, particularly by exploring avenues for economic cooperation in anticipation of upcoming bilateral milestones. The meeting underscored the shared desire to initiate a new dynamic of partnership between the two countries.

The two ministers also addressed prospects for enhanced cooperation between Algeria and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Notably, they discussed how the Philippines—set to assume the rotating presidency of ASEAN in 2026—could contribute to deepening Algeria’s engagement with this influential regional bloc, following its formal entry into the TAC.

In a separate meeting, Attaf conferred with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste, Bendito dos Santos Freitas. The talks reaffirmed the shared commitment of both nations to strengthen bonds of friendship and solidarity.

Both parties also reiterated their mutual resolve to sustain coordination within the United Nations framework, with a specific focus on bolstering global decolonization efforts—an issue Algeria has long championed on the international stage.
