Reception on occasion of national holiday of Algeria – 70th anniversary of revolution – was held in Kyiv

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.

UKRAINE AND ALGERIA PLAN TO HOLD BUSINESS FORUM

Foreign Ministers of Ukraine and Algeria, Dmytro Kuleba and Sabri Boukadoum, during a telephone conversation agreed to hold the second round of political consultations between the foreign ministries of the two countries next month.
Within the framework of the consultations, a substantive discussion of a wide range of issues of bilateral relations will take place: from support of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine in the international arena to the development of cooperation in the spheres of industry, education and tourism, the press service of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday.
“Within the framework of political consultations, Ukraine and Algeria plan to sign an agreement on the creation of a Joint Intergovernmental Commission on Bilateral Cooperation as an effective tool for promoting trade and investment, as well as hold a business forum with the participation of leading Ukrainian and Algerian companies,” Kuleba said.
The Ukrainian minister stressed that within the framework of a renewed vision of the development of relations between Ukraine and the African continent, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine set itself the goal of opening up Algeria’s opportunities for Ukrainian business. According to him, the situation is unacceptable when there are no active bilateral contacts at the political level with the important countries of the region, in particular Algeria, which at the end of 2019 became the second largest trade partner of Ukraine in Africa.
Kuleba also invited Boukadoum to pay an official visit to Ukraine at a convenient time for him.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine indicated that in 2019 the total volume of trade in goods and services between Ukraine and Algeria reached a record for bilateral relations – $614.4 million. At last year end, Algeria became Ukraine’s second largest trade partner in Africa after Egypt.
