Meeting with Algerian Minister of Foreign Affairs Ahmed Attaf

Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko met with Algerian Minister of Foreign Affairs Ahmed Attaf in Minsk on 6 August.

The head of state noted that he had been deeply impressed by his meeting with Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, which took place late in 2025. At that time, the two leaders identified a number of projects that Minsk and Algiers could implement jointly. In this regard, the Belarusian President shared the key conclusion drawn from those talks.

“Belarus and Algeria can agree on the implementation of numerous projects. The foundation of this conviction is that we can deliver virtually everything Algeria needs today, and perhaps tomorrow,” Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasized. “I would like to see these projects gain greater momentum through our agreements with Algeria.”

“If we make progress in this regard and reach agreements on concrete projects, it will, first, serve as a foundation for our future relations. Second, it will unlock new opportunities for cooperation between Belarus and Algeria right now. This is the general philosophy of our relations as I see it,” the Belarusian leader said.

Greeting the Belarusian head of state, Ahmed Attaf thanked him for the opportunity to meet and spoke about a special mission entrusted to him by the President of Algeria.

“Your friend, my President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, has authorized me to convey three messages to you. First, confirmation of deep friendship and high appreciation for your work, Mr. President. Second, his readiness and commitment to work shoulder to shoulder with you to elevate the level of bilateral relations. Third, high praise for the intensive dynamic in bilateral relations observed since the meeting of the two leaders in December 2025 in Algiers,” said Ahmed Attaf.

According to him, work is underway to organize Abdelmadjid Tebboune’s visit to Belarus. “The President of Algeria will actively work to fulfill the previously reached agreement to visit Belarus in the very near future,” the Algerian minister of foreign affairs emphasized.
