India sees Algeria as one of the leading economies of Africa and the developing world. Our major companies have been partnering with Algerian entities for more than three decades and have executed some of the important projects in Algeria in cooperation with Algerian counterparts.
My Government was happy to receive your Trade Minister and your Minister of Maghreb Affairs, the African Union and the Arab League, when they represented Algeria in the 3rd India-Africa Forum Summit held in New Delhi in October 2015.
My Minister of State for Petroleum was very happy to host and interact with your Minister of Energy during the 4th India-Africa Hydrocarbon Conference in New Delhi in January 2016.
