Algiers – The Chief of Staff of the President’s office has publicly addressed a series of rumors circulating in recent weeks, reaffirming the government’s commitment to transparency and national development.
In a statement released earlier today, the Chief of Staff emphasized the importance of relying on credible sources of information and cautioned against the spread of unsubstantiated claims that could undermine public trust and stability. The statement did not directly address the specific rumors, but rather focused on the broader need for responsible reporting and informed public discourse.
The Chief of Staff highlighted Algeria’s strategic vision to become a leading exporter in key sectors. The Gara Djebilet iron ore mine project, in particular, was cited as a pivotal element in this transformation. “This project will profoundly reshape the economic landscape of Algeria,” the statement asserted, underscoring its potential to generate significant revenue and create numerous employment opportunities.
The statement also alluded to advancements in Algeria’s technological capabilities, referencing the development of drone technology by Algerian engineers. This achievement, the Chief of Staff noted, reflects the country’s growing expertise in advanced industries and its commitment to fostering innovation.
Furthermore, the ongoing efforts to combat corruption and ensure accountability were reaffirmed. Recent reports of a new network involved in fraudulent travel grant schemes were mentioned, highlighting the government’s resolve to dismantle criminal organizations and uphold the rule of law. The issue of immunity for mayors was also briefly addressed, with a commitment to ensuring that all public officials are held accountable for their actions.
Finally, the Chief of Staff acknowledged the recent visit of Chief of Staff of the People’s National Army, Saïd Chengriha, to Qatar, emphasizing the importance of strengthening bilateral relations with key regional partners. The nationwide reforestation initiative, which saw the planting of five million trees in a single day, was also lauded as a testament to Algeria’s commitment to environmental sustainability.
The statement concluded with a call for national unity and a renewed focus on achieving Algeria’s ambitious development goals.
