Main results
The video conference of the members of the EU i-Algeria Association Council took place on 7 December 2020.
This meeting (of the members of the EU-Algeria Association Council) enabled us to discuss issues of common interest and the implementation of our partnership priorities. Algeria is a very important partner for Europe, by virtue of its proximity and size, its role in the region and on the African continent, but also, and above all, the longstanding close ties between us. We are faced with both opportunities and challenges, and I am confident that we have the means and will to advance our partnership for the mutual benefit of our peoples.
