Putin Hails Algeria as Strategic Partner During Russia‑Africa Summit

President Vladimir Putin praised Algeria as Russia's strategic partner on Thursday 29 October 2026 in Moscow, underscoring deepening ties between the two nations.

The third Russia‑Africa summit took place in Moscow on 28‑29 October 2026, following previous meetings in Sochi 2019 and Saint‑Petersburg 2023, where Prime minister Ghrieb delivered a message on behalf of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune.

In his message, Tebboune highlighted the 2023 strategic partnership declaration, urged Russian firms to invest heavily in Algeria's energy, mining, agriculture, digital transition sectors, called for UN Security Council reform as a test of international legitimacy, reaffirmed Algeria's commitment to self‑determination for all peoples, welcomed the resumption of UN‑sponsored negotiations on Western Sahara early 2026, warned against foreign interference that worsens crises, stressed Africa's security depends on inclusive development.

Algeria, acting as coordinator of the African Union's counter‑terrorism efforts, emphasized the link between security and socio‑economic development, noted that the Algerian Agency for International Cooperation funds infrastructure, health, education projects, and pointed to the June 2026 launch of construction on the Algerian section of the Trans‑Saharan gas pipeline to Niger and Nigeria, alongside the Trans‑Saharan road and fiber‑optic backbone projects.

The summit concluded with a call for increased international support for climate humanitarian crises, including Gaza.
