China, Algeria vow to strengthen bilateral relations

Before their talks, Xi held a grand welcoming ceremony for Tebboune at the Great Hall of the People. The two countries issued a joint statement after their talks.

China and Algeria launched a comprehensive strategic partnership in 2014, making Algeria the first Arab country to forge such a partnership with China.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of China sending medical teams to Algeria. Over the past six decades, China has sent 3,522 medical and nursing personnel to Algeria, providing treatment to over 27 million patients and delivering more than 2.07 million newborns, which has been hailed as a milestone in China-Algeria friendship.
