Academic insights highlight the pivotal role of Algerian diplomacy on the global stage

An academic seminar held at the National Institute for Global Strategic Studies reviewed the evolution of Algerian diplomacy from the liberation struggle to its current role in promoting international peace. Scholars emphasized that Algeria's foreign policy remains anchored in the principles of sovereignty, non-interference, and the right to self-determination. The discussion covered historic milestones, including the FLN's participation in the Bandung Conference and successful mediation efforts in international disputes like the 1975 Iraq-Iran agreement and the 1981 hostage crisis. Experts further advocated for an enhanced economic diplomacy, suggesting the use of the African Continental Free Trade Area and the mobilization of the national diaspora's expertise in AI and digital sectors. They concluded that adapting diplomatic strategies to shifting geopolitical trends is essential for strengthening Algeria's global standing.
