Vice-President of the People's National Assembly of Algeria (lower house of Parliament) Allel Bouteldja affirmed that His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani's acceptance of the invitation of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune to attend the 31st Ordinary Arab Summit in Algeria is tantamount to "accepting the invitation of a brother", and it is a great support for Algeria in hosting the summit, stressing that Qatar and Algeria are seeking Arab unity and defending the Palestinian cause.

In an exclusive interview with Qatar News Agency (QNA), He said that Qatar, under the leadership of His Highness the Amir, has never failed to provide full support to Algeria. His Highness previously visited Algeria in 2020, and he also attended the opening ceremony of the Mediterranean Games in Oran in June, 2022. On the other hand, President Abdelmadjid Tebboune visited Qatar in February, 2022, and these visits reflect the depth of the fraternal relations between the two countries, he added.

He explained that the mutual visits between the leaderships of the two countries were success, as they led to joint projects and opened the doors to Qatari investments in Algeria and joint cooperation in several fields such as agriculture, health and energy, he said, adding that this is what Algeria aspires to among all Arab countries to raise the level of solidarity between the Arab peoples and develop the region to give it an international weight.

Vice-President of the People's National Assembly of Algeria praised the level of Qatari-Algerian political and economic relations, affirming that they are distinct and historical and have been characterised by mutual respect, common stances and integrated work since long time. These relations have also become an example internationally and regionally, as they are brotherly relations more than anything else, he added.
