Algeria and Zimbabwe Praise the Outstanding Level of Cooperation in Higher Education and Training

The Secretary of State to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in charge of the National Community Abroad, Sofiane Chaib, received at the Ministry's headquarters the Deputy Secretary-General of the Presidency of the Republic of Zimbabwe, Zvinechimwoyo Rufingah Chitoro, who is visiting Algeria from 9 to 14 November 2026 at the head of a multisectoral delegation.
The meeting was an occasion to reaffirm the depth of the bonds of brotherhood and solidarity between the two countries, and their shared will to elevate bilateral relations to broader levels, opening new horizons for cooperation and embodying the aspirations of their leaderships. This follows the understandings reached during the state visit made by Zimbabwean President Dr. Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa to Algeria on 19 and 20 July 2025, which culminated in the signing of a number of agreements and memoranda of understanding in several vital sectors.
The two sides praised the outstanding level reached by bilateral cooperation in the fields of higher education and training. The Zimbabwean side expressed its country's deep appreciation to Algeria for the scholarships and training grants it offers annually to Zimbabwean students. This contributes to developing national talent and strengthening human resource capacities, in support of Zimbabwe's economic and social development efforts, and allows for broader benefit from the Algerian experience in human resource development and skills building.
On another front, both parties affirmed the convergence of their countries' views and the consistency of their positions on various regional and international issues of common interest, renewing their commitment to the principles of solidarity and joint African action.
