Algiers, December 12, 2025 – Algeria has expressed satisfaction following the recent signing of a military cooperation agreement with Tunisia.

He added, “Our cooperation and partnership have reached a level of maturity and experience that allows us to communicate as brothers and neighbors, with the necessary objectivity to reinforce what is positive and beneficial for both parties, and to correct what falls short, through innovative and adapted mechanisms that overcome any obstacles hindering the realization of our shared ambitions in various fields.”
The Prime Minister highlighted the increasing trade volume between Algeria and Tunisia, which reached $2.30 billion in 2024. He stressed that “enhancing trade must be linked to similar momentum in promoting investment partnerships between the two countries.” He underscored the urgent need to intensify communication between investors and entrepreneurs from both nations, establishing institutional and legal frameworks that adapt to local economic changes and international transformations, thereby fostering a genuine dynamic for partnership.
The military cooperation agreement and continued economic collaboration underscore the deepening ties between Algeria and Tunisia, solidifying their commitment to regional stability and mutual prosperity.
