In a message addressed to President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, Tchiani conveyed his heartfelt congratulations on the occasion of Algeria’s Revolution Day, emphasizing the deep historical bonds that unite the two nations.

Observers view President Tchiani’s message as a testament to the trust Algeria enjoys among its neighboring countries, particularly following its unwavering support for African independence and its opposition to foreign interference in the continent’s affairs. This commitment from the President of Niger represents a further step towards solidifying strategic partnerships in the region.
