This initiative, announced on Monday, aims to honor the revolutionary legacy through a series of events, including conferences, artistic performances, operatic shows, and visual arts exhibitions.
Minister of Culture, Soraya Mouloudji, chaired a meeting with heads of affiliated institutions to assess the progress of preparations for this historic event. The ministry’s statement highlighted the significant importance President Abdelmadjid Tebboune places on ensuring the commemoration aligns with the grandeur of the national occasion.
