Serbia interested in deepening economic cooperation with Algeria

Belgrade, 24 March 2018

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said during today’s talks with Foreign Minister of the Democratic People's Republic of Algeria Abdelkader Messahel that the two countries have fostered traditionally friendly relations throughout history and that Algeria, as the largest country of the African continent, is one of the key partners of Serbia in this region.

Brnabic underlined that Serbia is interested in deepening cooperation with Algeria, especially in the field of the economy, bearing in mind significant potentials in the sectors of infrastructure, construction, pharmacy and agriculture.

She recalled that Serbian companies "Jugoimport - SDPR", "Hidrotehnika", "Energoprojekt", "Mihajlo Pupin" and "Putevi Uzice" are working successfully in Algeria, where together with Algerian partners they achieve significant successes in major and important projects in the area water management, construction and infrastructure.

Minister Messahel underlined that there is good cooperation in the field of defence, which takes place through regular meetings of the Mixed Committee of the two countries. He expressed readiness for such cooperation to continue and strengthen through the exchange of technology and joint ventures.

He particularly stressed the importance of cooperation in the field of education, noting that in the former period, a large number of Algerian citizens were studying in Serbia.

Prime Minister Brnabic thanked Algeria's foreign minister for his country’s firm stance on the non-recognition of Kosovo's unilaterally declared independence and support to Serbia's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Brnabic praised the proposal by Algeria for the adoption of the Resolution in the United Nations entitled "Living together in peace", which was supported by Serbia, which establishes 16 May as a day when the importance of promoting inclusion, tolerance, understanding and solidarity is highlighted.
