Algeria, for the moment, the fourth largest economy on the African continent, with a GDP of 196 billion USD in 2019, is a major regional player and a pole of stability in the Arab and African world, in particular.
Algerian diplomacy continues to make its voice heard in international forums, benefiting from a special role, in consideration of its traditional anti-imperialist policy. It therefore remains active on Arab and African issues (reform of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, New Partnership for Africa\’s Development, NEPAD). As it is also attached to more transversal themes (conference on disarmament, climate change).
Within the African Union (AU), Algeria is contributing its reflection for the establishment of an African Capacity for Immediate Response to Crises (ACIRC).
On April 9 and 10, 2018, Algeria co-organized with the AU a \”conference on the financing of terrorism in Africa\” bringing together delegates from African countries.
Finally, at the 33rd AU summit on February 9, President Abdelmajid Tebboune announced the creation of an Algerian Agency for International Cooperation to help African countries, especially in the Sahel.
