This is essential to ensure the project&#8217;s completion within the set deadlines while adhering to the required quality and technical standards, according to a statement from the ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This call was made during a meeting chaired by Rakhroukh on Thursday in <strong>Nouakchott<\/strong>, alongside the Mauritanian Minister of Equipment and Transport, Mr. Ahel Ould Veirik. The meeting marked the <strong>second session of the Algerian-Mauritanian Joint Committee<\/strong> tasked with overseeing the execution of the Tindouf-Zou\u00e9rat road project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his address, Rakhroukh emphasized that <strong>the project is a key pillar in fostering regional development<\/strong>, serving as a foundation for strengthening <a class=\"dzsl-auto-link dzsl-internal\" data-dzsl=\"internal\" href=\"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/?p=65587\">bilateral cooperation<\/a> between <a class=\"dzsl-auto-link dzsl-internal\" data-dzsl=\"internal\" href=\"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/?cat=1\">Algeria<\/a> and Mauritania. He also highlighted that the project extends beyond road construction, aiming to <strong>boost collaboration in other critical sectors<\/strong>, including <a class=\"dzsl-auto-link dzsl-external\" data-dzsl=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">health<\/a>, trade, <a class=\"dzsl-auto-link dzsl-internal\" data-dzsl=\"internal\" href=\"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/?p=67177\">vocational training<\/a>, and media. Among the planned initiatives are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A multi-service lung disease clinic<\/strong> in Zou\u00e9rat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A vocational training center<\/strong> in Kiffa<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A media center<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A trade and marketing hub for Algerian products in Nouakchott<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The minister further noted that the inauguration of the <strong>border crossings and free trade zone<\/strong> connected to the Tindouf-Zou\u00e9rat road is not merely a physical achievement. Rather, it represents a <strong>strategic step toward a shared future<\/strong> between Algeria and Mauritania, aligned with the <strong>vision of both countries&#8217; leaders<\/strong> to enhance economic and trade relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Progress and Future Plans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second session of the joint committee follows up on the <strong>first session held in Algeria from December 11 to 16, 2022<\/strong>, during which a roadmap for the project&#8217;s study and implementation phases was established. After completing <strong>technical studies for the 840 km road<\/strong>, field visits were conducted from <strong>May 31 to June 7, 2023<\/strong>, to assess the agreed-upon route and coordinate with local authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Subsequently, <strong>on February 22, 2024, President Abdelmadjid Tebboune and his Mauritanian counterpart visited Tindouf<\/strong> to officially launch the project. The visit included the <strong>foundation stone laying for the free trade zone<\/strong> and the <strong>inauguration of the border crossings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of now, <strong>work on the first 320 km segment of the road is 20% complete<\/strong>, with steady progress being made to ensure timely delivery, the statement added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nor Eleslam &#8211; DZ Watch<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Algiers \u2013 The Minister of Public Works and Basic Infrastructure, Lakhdar Rakhroukh, has called on companies overseeing the construction of the Tindouf-Zou\u00e9rat road project to strengthen and support the worksites with the necessary material and human resources.
