Cairo Envoy Calls for Intensified Egypt-Algeria Security Efforts

Algeria's Ambassador to the Arab Republic of Egypt and its Permanent Representative to the Arab League, Mohamed Sofiane Berrah, recently emphasized the critical need to strengthen coordination and consultation with Egypt. The Ambassador advocated for intensifying joint efforts on regional issues, aiming to support common Arab interests and establish conditions for sustainable political settlements that enhance security and stability across the region. This statement highlighted a shared strategic outlook between Algeria and Egypt, delivered on the occasion of the November 1st Revolution anniversary.

Ambassador Berrah underscored the convergence of views between the two nations on regional matters, rooted in their mutual commitment to preserving state sovereignty, territorial integrity, containing tensions, and prioritizing political and diplomatic solutions in crisis management. This alignment is based on a collective understanding of the strong interconnectedness between their national security and the stability of their broader Arab and African environments. The Ambassador characterized Egypt as a promising strategic partner, noting the substantial human and industrial capabilities, as well as the significant Arab and African influence, both countries possess. He also pointed to considerable potential for integration across various sectors including energy, industry, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, transport, digital economy, and scientific research.

The institutional framework underpinning the bilateral partnership has been significantly strengthened through key events such as the visit of Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune to Cairo in October 2024 and the Ninth Session of the Algerian-Egyptian Joint Higher Committee in November 2025. These engagements culminated in the signing of 18 cooperation documents, expanding collaborative areas to include energy, renewable energies, manufacturing, pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries, housing, agricultural research, culture, youth and sports, and labor. Ambassador Berrah also recalled Egypt's historical support for the Algerian Revolution, encompassing political, diplomatic, and media assistance, including the notable role of "Voice of the Arabs" radio. He affirmed that this noble historical legacy serves as a foundational pillar for advancing and elevating the Algerian-Egyptian partnership into new spheres of political, economic, and strategic cooperation.

Addressing regional developments, Ambassador Berrah reiterated Algeria's unwavering support for the Palestinian people's right to freedom and self-determination, the end of occupation, and the establishment of an independent state based on the June 4, 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital. He called for de-escalation, prioritizing dialogue, and diplomatic resolutions, alongside respecting the sovereignty and security of Arab states. Furthermore, Algeria affirms its backing for comprehensive and sustainable political resolutions to crises in Libya, Sudan, Yemen, and Somalia, emphasizing solutions founded on national dialogue and peaceful means to preserve state unity, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national institutions.
