On this occasion, the General affirmed that “Algeria, which is today waging a battle to consolidate the foundations of its economy and further strengthen its social and security immunity, counts, first and foremost, on the solidarity of all its loyal children, these Algerian women and men, driven by a strong national will and determined to build a new victorious Algeria, advancing with sure steps towards the achievement of its national ambitions, foremost of which is ensuring our people’s progress and prosperity within the embrace of security and stability.

“The People’s National Army, always ready to contribute alongside the nation’s vital forces, to the promotion of our country to the highest levels, and will remain mobilized and highly committed to fulfilling its constitutional missions with devotion and loyalty, particularly through its sustained efforts to build a strong army, always ready and available to defend the homeland and preserve national sovereignty and the supreme interests of the nation, while strengthening national cohesion, banishing division and stifling any desperate attempts targeting the country’s security and stability and its territorial and popular integrity,” said General Saïd Chanegriha.

“I urge you to hold on to the values of our glorious ancestors and to demonstrate responsibility and permanent readiness in order to contribute, during this new year, to the collective effort being made, particularly regarding the continued fight against the virus of terrorism and the thwarting of its dark plans to prevent it from rebuilding its doctrine, by facing all forms of extremism and organized crime that attempt to exhaust the nation’s resources and flood our country with all kinds of drugs through which our enemies try to harm the mental and physical health of our youth,” wrote the General.

“It is incumbent upon all to demonstrate a higher level of vigilance, prudence and awareness of the underlying motives and aims of maneuvers and conspiracies hatched by enemies, while strictly adhering to the combat preparation program for all components of our solid army, and rigorously executing all instructions and guidance issued by the High Command, aimed at ensuring the permanent operational readiness of our forces to meet the challenges of the present and tackle the challenges of the future,” he said.
