Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune Begins Two-Day State Visit to Slovenia

Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has embarked on a two-day state visit to Slovenia, strengthening diplomatic and economic ties. The visit, which starts today, marks a strategic push for Algeria to diversify its partnerships and enhance collaboration in sectors such as energy, technology, and agriculture.

President Tebboune’s visit is not just ceremonial; it aims to build on the existing bilateral relationship between Algeria and Slovenia, with over 70 Algerian business leaders accompanying him. The discussions will include digital innovation, agriculture, renewable energy, and multilateral cooperation, underscoring Algeria's growing role in global affairs.

The state visit will also focus on energy, with Algeria being a key gas supplier to Slovenia, and discussions will involve increasing Slovenian business involvement in Algeria’s market. Talks will extend to international security, with both countries keen to exchange views on Middle Eastern and Ukrainian conflicts, as both are non-permanent members of the UN Security Council.

The President's agenda includes meetings with top Slovenian officials, including Prime Minister Robert Golob and National Assembly President Urška Klakočar Zupančič. A business forum will be held at the Slovenian Chamber of Commerce, showcasing the economic potential of this partnership.

This state visit represents a critical step in strengthening Algeria’s international ties, particularly with Slovenia, focusing on energy, technology, and multilateral cooperation. The deepening relations with Slovenia are set to pave the way for further economic partnerships, with a broader focus on Europe and Latin America.
