On November 6, 2024, Charge d’Affaires of the Embassy of the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria in Ukraine Y.V. Ahmed Ouail held a reception dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the Algerian Liberation Revolution at the Fairmont Grand Hotel in Kyiv.
70 years ago, on November 1, 1954, the Algerian people began an almost eight-year armed struggle against the French colonizers, which resulted in the country’s independence.
On March 19, 1962, the French government and the Algerian National Liberation Front signed the Evian Accords, which put an end to the bloody war (the death toll, according to various estimates, reaches 350 thousand to 1.5 million people).
And on July 1, 1962, during a referendum, Algerians supported the independence of their country.
The event traditionally began with the performance of the national anthems of the two countries – Algeria and Ukraine.
First, the Algerian diplomat, H.E. Mr. Ahmed Ouail, delivered a festive speech, in which he cordially greeted all the participants and expressed hope for further strengthening of multilateral ties and friendly relations between Algeria and Ukraine.
On behalf of the Ukrainian government, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine for Digital Development, Digital Transformation and Digitalization Anton Demokhin expressed his congratulations on the occasion.
After Ukraine declared independence on August 24, 1991, Algeria recognized Ukraine on December 27, 1991. On August 20, 1992, Ukraine and Algeria established diplomatic relations. On November 16, 1992, the first Ambassador of Algeria to Ukraine, Belramoul Camerzerman, presented his credentials to President Leonid Kravchuk.
