This pact, inked during a high-level coordination meeting in Chad’s capital, reinforces bilateral collaboration and expedites the implementation of initiatives agreed upon in their April memorandum of understanding. The announcement comes on the second day of an official Algerian delegation’s working visit to Chad, as confirmed by the Algerian Ministry of Public Works and Basic Infrastructure.
