Algiers, Algeria– Thursday, July 10, 2025 | Algerian Prime Minister Nadir Larbaoui presided this Thursday over the official opening ceremony of Algeria’s National Day at the Expo 2025 Osaka, held at the city’s main exhibition center in Japan. The event marked a significant diplomatic and economic moment, showcasing Algeria’s sweeping reforms, innovation ecosystem, and longstanding bilateral ties with Japan.

In his keynote address, Prime Minister Larbaoui conveyed Algeria’s clear development vision under the leadership of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, spotlighting the structural reforms implemented to improve the investment climate and diversify the national economy. Despite a turbulent global context, Algeria has recorded its highest growth rate in 13 years, driven by an ambitious agenda that prioritizes modernization and self-sufficiency.

Larbaoui emphasized the country’s booming innovation sector, citing the establishment of over 3,300 start-ups in record time, thanks to robust support for research and a vibrant financing ecosystem. He highlighted government initiatives, including generous tax incentives and institutional backing, that have facilitated this transformation. Algeria’s leadership in innovation also extends to the continent, with the annual African Start-up Conference emerging as a pan-African platform for cooperation and knowledge exchange, launched and hosted in Algiers.

Touching on bilateral ties with Japan, the Prime Minister hailed Algerian-Japanese cooperation as a model of constructive dialogue and mutual solidarity, tracing its roots to 1958, when Tokyo hosted one of the first foreign offices of the National Liberation Front (FLN). This act of early solidarity paved the way for Japan’s recognition of Algerian independence on July 4, 1962, a gesture still etched in Algeria’s diplomatic memory.

Larbaoui further noted the shared commitment to peacebuilding and dialogue, stating that this convergence of strategic vision reinforces both nations’ efforts to expand cooperation in sectors like energy, innovation, and development. The success of the first Algerian-Japanese Joint Economic Committee held in May 2025 was cited as a milestone opening new avenues for partnership under a framework of mutual respect and common interest.

During the proceedings, the Japanese representative echoed these sentiments, praising the historical ties and cultural rapport between the two nations. He applauded Algeria’s meaningful participation in the Expo, underlining the depth of cooperation and the people-to-people exchanges that continue to flourish.

After the official speeches, the Algerian delegation toured the Japanese pavilion, exploring exhibitions dedicated to the cycle of life and sustainable development, before heading to the Algerian pavilion—aptly titled “Lights of Algeria”. There, they explored displays of Algeria’s rich cultural heritage, technological progress, and investment opportunities, designed to attract international cooperation and strategic partnerships.

The ceremony concluded in the presence of prominent figures, including Minister of Culture and Arts Zohir Bellow, Minister of Tourism and Handicrafts Houria Meddahi, Algeria’s Commissioner-General Abdallah Bougandoura, Japan’s Parliamentary Minister of Economy, Trade, and Industry Takeyuchi Shinji, members of the diplomatic corps, the Algerian community in Japan, and invited guests.
