During a meeting held on Tuesday with Algeria’s Ambassador to London, Nourredine Yazid, at the Parliament’s headquarters, where the national emblem was displayed for the occasion, Hoyle welcomed “the quality of bilateral cooperation in various areas of interest,” considering it necessary for his country “to benefit from the abundant natural resources that Algeria possesses by expanding and deepening the partnership to other sectors, particularly energy and tourism.”

The Algerian Ambassador to London and the Speaker of the House of Commons also welcomed “the excellence of Algerian-British relations which have always been marked by respect and friendship, and are experiencing growing dynamism.”

This meeting, which comes following the reconfiguration of the British parliament resulting from the general elections of 4 July 2024, allowed Nourredine Yazid to discuss with his interlocutor “the prospects for cooperation between the two parliaments and the necessary mechanisms to further develop it, before exchanging views on numerous current regional and international issues.”

In this respect, the Algerian Ambassador assured his host, who wished for a strengthening of multifaceted ties, that the political and economic reforms taking place in Algeria under the leadership of the President of the Republic, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, “will allow both countries to build on the common potential that remains insufficiently exploited, despite progress recorded in recent years in terms of exchange.”
