ALGIERS, 3 December (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko and Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune signed a joint statement on bolstering friendship and partnership ties between Belarus and Algeria following their official talks in Algiers on 3 December, BelTA has learned.
The leaders of the two countries have also signed a number of documents, with a roadmap to develop bilateral cooperation in 2026-2027 as its centerpiece.
“Money loves silence. Therefore, we will not list concrete contracts in the roadmap. That would probably be incorrect. But the main areas and the parties responsible for them must be defined in the roadmap. With deadlines for implementation,” Artur Karpovich, Belarusian Minister of Antimonopoly Regulation and Trade, co-chair of the Belarusian-Algerian intergovernmental commission, told journalists.
He explained that the roadmap is set for a two-year timeframe because everything in the world is changing rapidly: “Perhaps, making a roadmap for 5 years doesn’t make much sense. The roadmap needs to focus on the short to medium term.”
The minister noted that, as Eastern people, Algerians can sometimes make negotiations a deliberate process. “But when they see that you are open-hearted, open-minded, they respond in kind. This allows us to establish a substantive and very productive dialogue with every minister,” he said.
It has already been determined that the next meeting of the intergovernmental commission will take place in Minsk in the early February 2026.
Agreements were concluded on military-technical cooperation, cooperation in animal health, scientific research, technological development, and innovations.
