In January of last year, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, the president of Algeria, went on an official trip to Egypt. There, he met with Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, the president of Egypt.

Tebboune said that his talks with the president of Egypt “offered a chance to talk about economic cooperation” and make it easier for people to invest in both countries.

Algeria and Egypt decided at the start of this month to transform their historical links into “reciprocal partnerships” in the oil industry.

This occurred during remote official discussions between the Algerian Minister of Energy and Mines, Mohammed Arkab, and the Egyptian Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, Tarek El Molla.
