Ministry of Foreign Affairs Statement - Portugal 09.03.2025

Algeria celebrated, on 07 March 2025, the 50th anniversary of establishing its diplomatic relations with Portugal and the 20th anniversary of signing the Good Neighborliness Treaty. On this occasion, Algeria highlighted the depth of the historical ties between the Algerian and Portuguese countries and peoples.

The celebration of these two key events comes at a time when bilateral relations are seeing notable development in various fields, especially in light of the recent visit of the President of the Republic, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, to the Portuguese Republic in May 2023, which yielded encouraging outcomes benefiting the two friendly Algerian and Portuguese peoples. This visit represents the culmination of a history of robust high-level exchanges between the two countries.

On this occasion, Algeria reiterated its commitment to continuing work with Portugal to raise bilateral cooperation and partnership to new heights, while also enhancing coordination and dialogue on regional and international matters of mutual concern, with a view to reinforcing respect for international legality, international law and the UN Charter, along with advancing global peace and security.
