He also stressed that “Algeria has always been a space of harmony, interaction, and cohesion, by providing a safe haven for the oppressed, the persecuted, and the deprived, and through its constant defense of human dignity and its continued alignment with just causes across the world, particularly in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and even in Europe.”
“These universal human values, which we share with Your Holiness in believing in, committing to their principles, and working to realize at both the regional and international levels, are the values of social justice, peace, freedom, dialogue, and coexistence,” President Tebboune added.
