The national press in Algeria has unanimously praised the success of the Intra-African Trade Fair hosted in Algiers, emphasizing the nation’s decisive role in fostering African integration and economic unity. With the event nearing its conclusion, newspapers across the country showcased Algeria’s ability to stand as a continental platform for cooperation, investment, and shared development.
In its leading headline, An-Nasr wrote, “President Tebboune has proven that Algeria is a platform for continental integration,” recalling the remarks of former Nigerian President and Chairman of the Advisory Council of the Trade Fair, Olusegun Obasanjo. He stressed that the well-structured organization, fruitful meetings, and high-quality agreements reflect Algeria’s unwavering commitment to the African integration project.
The paper further published a feature titled “The Fourth Edition of the Intra-African Trade Fair in Algeria is the Most Successful,” citing Ayman Ezzoughbi, head of finance, trade, corporate, and investment at the African Export-Import Bank, who underlined that Algerian companies reaped the lion’s share of beneficial agreements, proving their immense capacities in diverse sectors. Meanwhile, Mauritanian fishing company chairman Islam Samouri hailed the professionalism and rigor that marked the event, organized under the slogan “Bridges to New Opportunities.”
Al-Jumhuriya put forward its editorial under the title “Excellence… Algeria’s Mark,” where it highlighted that the numerous contracts signed aim to lift African industry and investment toward competitiveness and quality. It also linked this success to Algeria’s economic and legislative reforms in finance and investment, which have encouraged localization and partnerships by removing bureaucratic hurdles.
For its part, Al-Massa declared boldly on its front page: “Algeria, the Pride of Africa.” It underlined testimony from African financial institutions that described the fair as a “remarkable success,” attributing this both to the value of agreements and to the trademark organization managed by Algeria.
E-Bourse focused on the forward-looking recommendations expected from the fair’s closing, noting that the event offered fertile ground for promising partnerships to fuel African renaissance led by its innovative youth. Its editorial also spotlighted the contribution of the Algerian People’s National Army as a key actor in economic development through its growing industries in vehicles, agricultural machinery, and defense production—an example of building industrial sovereignty that strengthens Africa’s collective independence.
Le Quotidien d’Oran highlighted the signing of nearly ten contracts in Algeria’s favor, geared toward boosting local production and facilitating intra-African exports. This, it stressed, consolidates Algeria’s role as a formidable economic player driving forward the Africa-wide integration agenda.
Finally, L’Expression described these milestones as “pure African victories,” noting the positive impact of the agreements signed and echoing the impressions gathered from foreign delegations, which recognized Algeria’s leadership and vision in bringing such a consequential event to fruition.
Through this coverage, the national press drew attention not only to the tangible economic gains but also to Algeria’s historical and political responsibility: defending Africa’s sovereignty, empowering its partnerships, and ensuring that its voice remains free and independent against foreign meddling, particularly in contrast with Morocco’s destabilizing maneuvers in the region and its occupation of Western Sahara, a cause Algeria continues to champion on the continental stage
