New York - The Algerian parliamentary delegation participating in the Fourth Committee of the United Nations General Assembly in New York has commenced a busy schedule, starting with a coordination meeting with the Permanent Representative of Algeria to the United Nations, Mr. Amar Benjama, according to a statement released Saturday by the People's National Assembly (APN). The delegation’s intensive engagement highlights Algeria’s commitment to the issues under consideration by the Fourth Committee, which focuses on Special Political and Decolonization matters. These issues are central to Algeria’s foreign policy priorities, particularly its advocacy for self-determination and the rights of peoples living under colonial or foreign occupation.
The meeting with Ambassador Benjama served as a crucial opportunity for the delegation to align its efforts with Algeria’s overall diplomatic strategy at the UN. Discussions likely centered on key agenda items, including the question of Palestine, the work of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), and decolonization efforts worldwide.
The APN statement underscores the importance of parliamentary diplomacy in complementing governmental efforts on the international stage. The presence of the Algerian parliamentary delegation at the UN General Assembly allows for direct engagement with parliamentarians from other nations, fostering dialogue and building support for Algeria’s positions on critical global issues.
Beyond the coordination meeting, the delegation is expected to actively participate in the debates and discussions within the Fourth Committee, presenting Algeria’s perspectives and advocating for resolutions that align with its national interests and principles. This active participation is a testament to Algeria’s continued dedication to multilateralism and its belief in the United Nations as a vital forum for addressing global challenges.
The Algerian delegation’s program also likely includes bilateral meetings with representatives from other countries and organizations, providing further opportunities to strengthen relationships and advance Algeria’s diplomatic objectives. The delegation’s activities in New York are being closely followed in Algeria, with the APN providing updates on its progress and contributions to the work of the Fourth Committee. This highlights the significance that Algeria places on its role within the United Nations and its commitment to promoting peace, security, and development through international cooperation. The intensive schedule reflects the dedication of the Algerian parliament to actively contributing to the global discussions and policy-making processes at the United Nations.
