The French President, Emmanuel Macron, and his Algerian counterpart, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, signed a "renewed, concrete and ambitious partnership" agreement.

Following the signing of the announcement in the auditorium at Hawari Boumedin Airport, Tebboune said during a press conference that his French counterpart's "successful" visit, which began Thursday and ends Saturday, "provided a convergence that would not have been possible without President Macron's personality."

The Algiers Declaration for Renewed Partnership reflects the two countries' desire to "open a new era" and adopts a "concrete and constructive approach focused on future projects and youth". It also stated that NEPAD had become a "demand dictated by escalating volatility and worsening regional and international tensions".

It also stated that it "provides a framework for developing a common vision and a close coordinated approach to addressing new global challenges from global and regional crises, climate change, biodiversity conservation, the digital revolution and health".

A number of cooperation agreements have also been concluded, including in particular higher education, health and sport, and have been signed by ministers from the two countries.

He drew Tebboune to the high-level meeting that brought together the leaders of the security services from both sides, including the army, for the "first time since independence".

Paris and Algeria will establish a "High Council for Cooperation" at the Presidents' level to "promote their political consultations".

For his part, the French President considered that the Algiers Declaration would make it possible to "strengthen the close relationship through a permanent dialogue on all the files, including the topics that prevented us from moving forward".

During Macron's visit it was decided to establish a joint committee of historians in order to settle differences and confront the past "courageously" in the words of the French president, and "can be installed within the next 15 to 20 days", according to Tebboune, who explained that its work could take a year to extend.

It should be noted that there was a deep disagreement between the two countries in the autumn on the question of memory about the French colonization of Algeria, which extended in the period 1830-1962.
