Algeria and France are moving decisively to rebuild their security partnership, with Algerian Interior Minister Said Sa\u00efoud set to travel to Paris in the coming days for high-level talks covering sensitive bilateral security and cooperation files.<\/p>\n
French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez confirmed the upcoming visit exclusively, telling dzwatch: “I will be receiving my Algerian counterpart here within the next few days. It is a very positive signal. Security cooperation is being gradually resumed.”<\/p>\n
Nunez revealed that key agenda items include intelligence-sharing on drug trafficking networks, stressing that “cooperation on smugglers must be relaunched and is already moving in both directions.”<\/p>\n

The visit follows an earlier mission by French Justice Minister G\u00e9rald Darmanin to Algiers, dedicated to advancing critical judicial and security dossiers between the two nations. That trip marked a turning point after months of diplomatic tension.<\/p>\n
