ALGIERS, Algeria — Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has reaffirmed Algeria’s growing international stature, highlighting the country’s strategic partnership with Germany, the central role of digital transformation in economic modernization, and Algeria’s commitment to regional cooperation and African development during his latest meeting with representatives of the national media.
Reviewing his recent official visit to Germany, President Tebboune described bilateral relations as having reached the level of a strategic partnership, recalling Germany’s historical support for Algeria’s War of Independence and its longstanding contribution to the country’s post-independence development.
He stressed that Germany remains one of Algeria’s most important economic and industrial partners, noting that the two countries are expanding cooperation across several strategic sectors.
The President said Algeria is positioning itself to become Germany’s principal supplier of green hydrogen through joint projects involving large-scale photovoltaic installations and electricity transmission via Italy. He also highlighted ongoing cooperation in precision engineering and advanced manufacturing, including the transfer of German expertise in engine production technologies.
In the pharmaceutical sector, Tebboune noted that Germany has granted Algeria access to four key oncology molecules, describing the move as a reflection of the high level of trust between the two countries.
Turning to domestic reforms, the President underscored that digital transformation remains a cornerstone of Algeria’s modernization agenda.
“Without digitalisation, nothing can be achieved,” he said, stressing that the country’s digital transition has significantly improved administrative efficiency, simplified procedures for citizens and investors, and contributed to modernising public services.
He pointed to the single investment window as one of the major reforms that has reduced bureaucratic obstacles and improved the investment climate, while acknowledging that parts of the banking sector still need to accelerate their modernization to better support economic reforms.
According to Tebboune, these reforms have made Algeria increasingly attractive to both domestic and foreign investors by creating a more favourable business environment and strengthening institutional support for productive investment.
The President also reiterated Algeria’s ambition to serve as a regional hub linking North Africa with the Sahel through major infrastructure projects, particularly railway networks designed to facilitate trade and regional connectivity.
He said these projects reflect Algeria’s broader vision of promoting regional integration while supporting the economic development of neighbouring countries.
Addressing developments in Mali, Tebboune reaffirmed Algeria’s longstanding foreign policy principle of respecting state sovereignty and rejecting interference in the internal affairs of other countries.
He stressed that Algeria has never interfered in Mali’s domestic affairs and would continue to uphold the same position, while remaining ready to support neighbouring countries whenever requested through cooperation rather than intervention.
The President also highlighted Algeria’s contribution to African development through educational cooperation, recalling that the country has allocated 8,000 university scholarships to African students as part of its efforts to strengthen human capital and support sustainable development across the continent.
On relations with France, Tebboune reiterated that he had never requested visa quotas or financial compensation from Paris, while maintaining Algeria’s demand for technical cooperation regarding the legacy of French nuclear tests conducted in the Algerian Sahara.
Regarding Tunisia, the President reaffirmed Algeria’s unwavering support for its eastern neighbour, stressing that any attempt to destabilise Tunisia would also threaten Algeria’s security.
Throughout the interview, Tebboune maintained that Algeria’s foreign policy continues to be guided by strategic partnerships, regional solidarity, national sovereignty and balanced international cooperation, while pursuing economic modernization and reinforcing the country’s position as an influential regional actor.
