Will it be postponed again? Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune to pay state visit to France “end of September-beginning of October”, announced the Elysée on Monday March 11, following a telephone interview between Abdelmadjid Tebboune and his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron. This visit, postponed several times against a backdrop of recurring hot and cold weather between the two countries, will take place “on a date to be specified” during this period, indicates the French presidency.
“The two presidents discussed the deepening of the renewed partnership between France and Algeria following the Algiers declaration” concluded during Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Algiers in August 2022, said the Elysée. This renewed partnership must take place “economically, energetically, agriculturally, educationally and culturally as well as in terms of mobility and human exchanges”recalls the French presidency.
A visit postponed several times
First scheduled for early May 2023, it was postponed to June of the same year. But Abdelmadjid Tebboune never confirmed his arrival, which was to mark the improvement between the two countries after a number of diplomatic crises. On the other hand, he went on a state visit to Russia at the same time, which was perceived as a disavowal of Paris.
In December, Algiers still assured that the conditions for a visit were not “not suitable”then mentioning five issues to be resolved beforehand, including those of memory, mobility, economic cooperation and French nuclear tests in the Algerian Sahara.
