Chadian President Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno received the President of the People’s National Assembly (APN), Ibrahim Boughali, this Friday at his residence in Zéralda, on the sidelines of the state visit that Boughali is paying to Algeria, primarily aimed at expanding parliamentary ties between Algiers and N’Djamena. This was announced the day before by an APN press communiqué.
The meeting provided an opportunity to exchange views on “the state and prospects of bilateral relations between the two fraternal countries,” the APN statement noted, adding that both sides saluted the strength of the historical bonds linking Algeria and Chad and reaffirmed their shared determination to strengthen bilateral cooperation across several domains, especially political, economic, and security cooperation.
The two officials also discussed the development of parliamentary cooperation between the legislative institutions of the two countries, with the aim of consolidating the partnership and enhancing consultation on issues of mutual interest at both regional and international levels.
According to the APN, Boughali and the Chadian President emphasized not only the need to intensify consultations but also to increase mutual visits, in order to further strengthen “the bonds of fraternity and solidarity between the two fraternal peoples” and to contribute to promoting joint African action in the service of the continent’s interests.
