APN President Bouafdesh Joins Non-Aligned Movement Commemoration in Belgrade

Khalida Bouafdesh, President of the National People's Assembly, is participating in Belgrade, Serbia, at a high-level commemorative meeting marking the 65th anniversary of the first founding conference of the Non-Aligned Movement. Her participation, alongside Lounès Magramane, Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, follows specific instructions from President Abdelmadjid Tebboune. The event is scheduled to take place on August 31 and September 1.

The meeting aims to commemorate the historical legacy of Non-Alignment, operating under the theme "The historical legacy of Non-Alignment: lessons for today's world." This gathering is described as an opportunity to revive the founding principles established by the Movement's founders at conferences such as Bandung in 1955 and Belgrade in 1961. High-level participation is expected from both founding states and members of the Non-Aligned Movement's troika.

The event provides a platform to renew the commitment to enhancing integration, consultation, and interdependence among the Movement's member states. This renewed focus is particularly pertinent within a complex international landscape characterized by the re-emergence of polarization and the application of a logic of force. Algeria's presence underscores its ongoing commitment to multilateral diplomacy and its historical engagement with the Non-Aligned Movement's objectives.
