“PM Al-Kadhimi received the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria, Ramtane Lamamra, and the accompanying delegation,” local media reported.
They discussed bilateral relations between the two nations, including common challenging issues like energy & food security, which arose due to Ukraine war.
The Algerian Foreign Minister noted his country’s desire to enhance communication with Iraq and strengthen mutual cooperation relations.
The two sides confirmed their stance to support the Palestinian cause and for the Palestinian people to obtain their full rights.
Al-Kadhimi praised the Algerian government for supporting the Palestinian national reconciliation measures and the unity of the Palestinian ranks.
This includes importance of concerted efforts strengthening the mechanisms of joint Arab action, and confronting the challenges witnessed in the region.
They reviewed preparations for the Arab summit in Algeria on 1 November, and the work of Algerian-Iraqi joint committee to discuss their relations.
