He also stressed the importance of China and Algeria cooperating on the level of the entire African continent on trade by establishing a trilateral cooperation agreement that allows for true economic independence that results in the bolstering of political independence.
"[Algeria], since the revolution, has long defended its independence and respecting human rights and the freedom of expression, as well as the independence of peoples and their right to self-determination," the chief of the Council of the Nation stressed.
Wang Yang, on the other hand, explained that his country was ready to support Algeria's efforts, led by President Tebboune, through enhancing and diversifying bilateral cooperation in a manner that serves the interests of both countries and helps toward accomplishing further achievements.
