The visit aims to strengthen bilateral coordination between France and Algeria.<\/p>\n<p>The discussions have reportedly reached an advanced stage, focused on re-establishing a regular and consistent system for repatriation operations between Algeria and France. This reflects Paris\u2019s commitment to resolving outstanding issues between the two countries.<\/p>\n<p>France&#8217;s move to revise the 1968 agreement coincides with the Algerian Parliament&#8217;s first-ever discussion of a bill criminalizing French colonialism in Algeria. The Speaker of the People&#8217;s National Assembly, Ibrahim Boughali, emphasized that this measure represents a sovereign act, a moral stance, and a clear political message regarding Algeria&#8217;s commitment to defending its national memory and preserving the dignity of its people.<\/p>\n<p>Algerian-French relations have been gradually returning to a path of de-escalation after a period of tension.
