Minister van Buitenlandse Zaken van Amerika in Algerije

[Gast]

Een kort bezoek op 30 maart 2022 van de Minister Anthony Blinken van Buitenlandse Zaken van Amerika aan Algerije. Hij heeft de Algerijnse president ontmoet. Het gesprek is naar het Engels vertaald: “This is our environment: we are surrounded by countries that are not very similar to us with the exception of Tunisia. That’s why we do have very close relations with Tunisia because we have similarities in many areas. Otherwise, all our borders are in flames: destabilized Libya; after Libya, of course there is the entire Sahel like Chad, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger; and even Mauritania is not that strong. And next door we have the Moroccan Kingdom where our relations have always witnessed ups and downs since our independence. It is not recent; it is not due to the Western Sahara issue.”
