Chanegriha stressed the importance of implementing all necessary security and operational measures to facilitate the elections, enabling citizens to exercise their constitutional rights in a climate of serenity. He highlighted the ANP's ongoing efforts to adapt its defense capabilities in response to the evolving international geopolitical landscape. This adaptation, he noted, is vital for maintaining a strong military capable of meeting contemporary challenges and securing the nation's interests in a dynamic global order.
The ANP's strategic approach involves anticipating future needs through robust planning, maintaining flexibility in decision-making, and effectively mobilizing state resources. This forward-thinking strategy is essential for Algeria's active presence in an unstable world. The army is continuously enhancing its defense systems across all dimensions, fostering a unifying national narrative, and developing technological capacities. This includes advancing weapon systems, training personnel, securing supply chains, and promoting domestic defense industry.
Furthermore, the ANP plays a critical role in cultivating societal resilience against disinformation and psychological warfare, working in conjunction with national media to counter hostile propaganda and manipulation. Chanegriha also addressed the threats posed by subversive organizations utilizing advanced technology for espionage and subversion, particularly targeting sensitive government IT systems to destabilize the country.
The army remains steadfast in its mission to combat terrorism, organized crime, and cross-border smuggling, which are identified as significant threats to Algeria's social cohesion and economic development. The ANP's vigilance extends to safeguarding national borders amidst regional instability, underscoring Algeria's commitment to regional security despite challenges in neighboring countries.
In the context of modern warfare, Chanegriha emphasized the dual necessity of equipping the ANP with advanced materiel and ensuring its personnel are highly qualified to operate these sophisticated systems. He urged military leaders and trainees to continuously enhance their knowledge and practical experience to adapt effectively to new operational situations. This dedication to modernization and training underscores the ANP's unwavering commitment to protecting Algeria's sovereignty and its strategic interests.
