Ambassador of Algeria to Bangladesh Dr Abdelouahab Saidani has said it is crucial for Bangladesh and Algeria to deepen their collaboration by leveraging their complementary strengths in today’s complex international landscape.
"This will enable them to meet the expectations of their respective peoples and address current challenges effectively," he said while speaking at a reception on Friday night commemorating the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of the glorious revolution of National Liberation of Algeria.
Shipping, Textile and Jute Adviser Brig Gen (Retd) Dr M Sakhawat Hussain, Adviser to the Ministry of Social Welfare and the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs Sharmeen S. Murshid and Fisheries and Livestock Adviser Farida Akhter joined as guests of honour.
"Since taking office as Ambassador to Bangladesh two months ago, I have taken several measures and initiatives to further strengthen the bilateral cooperation in many sectors," the Algerian envoy said.
This has very recently resulted in the definitive validation of four important draft agreements by the Algerian side, in the areas of agriculture and water resources, out of 20 draft agreements in the pipeline, he said.
The Ambassador said they want to seize this pleasant opportunity to reaffirm Algeria’s support for Bangladesh in its quest of the noble objectives of fostering peace and prosperity.
"It is important to emphasize the profound respect and esteem that Algerians hold for Bangladesh, which is genuinely cherished in their hearts," he said.
The Ambassador hoped that Bangladesh and Algeria will continue their sustained efforts and achieve the aspirations of the peoples of both nations in terms of progress and prosperity, paving the way for a brighter future.
He said they can only build a strong future on the foundation of a strong past.
The Ambassador said Bangladesh and Algeria stand as strong and dedicated defenders of just causes on the global stage, striving for a more equitable international order.
