Algerian ambassador to Qatar Dr Mustafa Boutoura expressed appreciation for the participation of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani in the 31st regular session of the Arab League Summit, in response to the invitation of Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune. In an exclusive interview, Boutoura told Qatar News Agency (QNA) that the acceptance of His Highness the Amir to the invitation of Algerian president to participate in the 31st session of the summit proves the depth of Algerian-Qatari relations and strength of ties that bring together the leaders of the two countries, who are working to strengthen these relations for the benefit and interest of the two brotherly countries.
The Algerian ambassador described the Qatari-Algerian relations as historic, stressing that a continuous and growing development is taking place in various fields in light of the directives of the wise leaderships of the two countries. Relations between the two countries are based on a bright historical background, and are currently witnessing a continuous development, especially since the visit of the Amir to Algeria in February 2020, and the visit of President Tebboune to Qatar in February 2022, he added.
Dr Boutoura affirmed that these relations were further strengthened by the participation of His Highness the Amir in the opening of the Mediterranean Games in Oran in June 2022. From this standpoint, the bilateral relations between the two countries have seen a great development in many fields, foremost of which is the significant co-operation in the economic field and investment, he added.
The ambassador indicated that the visit of the Algerian president to Qatar in February attained a great importance and gave a strong and great impetus to the distinguished bilateral relations at all levels. That visit culminated in the signing of several agreements and memoranda of understanding at the level of political consultation, and legal and judicial cooperation, in addition to the field of higher education and scientific research, and social and family development, as well as partnership in the industrial sector, he said, adding that this opens new horizons for bilateral co-operation in all fields, which reflects the great potential that the two countries have, and for the benefit and common interests of Algeria and Qatar, as well as their peoples.
Dr Boutoura noted that bilateral relations between officials of the two countries at all levels are characterised by their keenness on periodic and permanent consultation in approaching various regional and international issues, which was strengthened through the political consultation mechanism at the level of the two countries' foreign ministers, pointing out the document that the Algerian president signed during his visit to Qatar. He also noted that the two countries share views on many issues, most notably of which is the Palestinian cause, as both countries support the right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent state on the 1967 borders with Al-Quds as its capital, adding that the two countries also agree in their approach to the Libyan crisis by emphasising support for the political process under UN auspices and the necessity of making the electoral process and the national reconciliation project a success on the path to achieving stability in the country.
On Algeria's efforts to achieve Palestinian reconciliation, which culminated in the signing of the '13 October Declaration of Algiers', the ambassador said that based on Algeria's commitment to the principle of its positions towards the issues of the Arab nation and the just issues in the world, as well as Algeria's awareness of the magnitude of the current international challenges, President Tebboune announced an initiative to unite the Palestinians under his auspices and direct supervision.
He affirmed that Algeria has sought and made strenuous efforts for several consecutive months in order to achieve Palestinian unity in the service of the steadfast Palestinian people and their just cause.
