Speaking at the high-level week of the 81st session of the <a class=\"dzsl-auto-link dzsl-external\" data-dzsl=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">United Nations<\/a> General Assembly, Prime Minister Zeine specifically praised Algerian solidarity, stating that Niger stands firm because Algeria, as a neighboring and fraternal nation, chose to support it. This significant international acknowledgment underscores Algeria&#39;s role as a vital partner for stability and co-development in the Sahel region.<\/p>\n<p>Prime Minister Zeine detailed that Algeria&#39;s support encompasses substantial <a class=\"dzsl-auto-link dzsl-internal\" data-dzsl=\"internal\" href=\"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/?cat=50\">investment<\/a> in natural resource exploitation, including the Kafra project in northern Niger where exploratory drilling for the Kafra South-East 1 well began in August. This accompaniment also involves continuous support for Niger&#39;s defense system. The dynamic cooperation between Algeria and Niger extends across various critical sectors such as health, <a class=\"dzsl-auto-link dzsl-external\" data-dzsl=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unesco.org\/en\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">education<\/a>, energy, water resources, and agriculture. As part of enhancing energy infrastructure, Algeria has contributed to the construction of a 40-megawatt power plant in Niamey, further strengthening Niger&#39;s capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond bilateral frameworks, the collaboration between the two nations extends to structured regional projects of significant scope.
