Algiers, Algeria – President Abdelmadjid Tebboune today received Mr. El Hachemi Assad, the Secretary-General of the High Commission for Amazighity (HCA), at the Presidential Palace.
The meeting, held earlier today, underscores the government’s continued commitment to promoting and preserving the Amazigh culture and language within Algeria. The HCA plays a vital role in this endeavor, working to integrate the Amazigh language, Tamazight, into various aspects of national life, including education, media, and public administration.
While details of the discussions remain undisclosed, it is widely expected that the meeting focused on the progress made in implementing government policies related to the promotion of Amazigh culture and language, as well as future initiatives aimed at further strengthening its role in Algerian society. Key areas of focus likely included the ongoing efforts to standardize the teaching of Tamazight in schools across the country and the development of cultural programs that celebrate the rich heritage of the Amazigh people.
The High Commission for Amazighity has been instrumental in advocating for the recognition and preservation of Tamazight. Its work extends to supporting research, publishing literature, and organizing cultural events that showcase the diversity and vibrancy of Amazigh culture. The meeting between President Tebboune and Mr. Assad signals the government’s intention to maintain its support for the HCA’s mission and to continue working towards a more inclusive and culturally diverse Algeria.
