Algiers, Algeria | June 4th, 2025 — As part of an official visit to the Republic of Slovenia, Algeria’s Minister of Health, Professor Abdelhak Saihi, and Minister of Labour, Employment and Social Security, Fayçal Bentaleb, held a high-level bilateral meeting with Slovenia’s Minister of Health, Valentina Prevolnik Rupel, to strengthen cooperation between the two nations in the fields of healthcare and social protection.

The talks, held in the Slovenian capital, marked a pivotal moment in enhancing Algeria-Slovenia collaboration, offering a platform to deepen dialogue and explore new avenues for joint initiatives in critical sectors. The discussions covered key strategic areas, including the exchange of expertise in hospital governance, digitization of healthcare systems, training of medical and administrative personnel, and the establishment of partnerships between hospitals and medical research centers across both countries.

All parties emphasized their shared commitment to advancing healthcare cooperation, underscoring the need for practical implementation frameworks that would ensure the effective realization of joint projects. Particular importance was placed on developing concrete action mechanisms that will translate political will into measurable outcomes.

In a show of political alignment and operational readiness, the meeting concluded with a formal commitment to establish joint working teams tasked with following up on agreed initiatives. The ministers also agreed to consider organizing future technical visits and to draft a roadmap that clearly defines and schedules priority bilateral projects.

This renewed partnership is firmly anchored in the momentum generated by the recent state visit of Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune to Slovenia, which laid the foundation for a broader and more dynamic engagement between the two nations. The current exchange reflects a mutual determination to elevate relations to a strategic level, with healthcare and social security now serving as a vital axis of cooperation.

The visit also highlights Algeria’s diplomatic vision of diversifying international partnerships and promoting South-North cooperation based on mutual benefit, knowledge sharing, and sustainable development.
