The Algerian investment is expected to especially fund "integration projects or those able to contribute to accelerating development in Africa"
Tebboune claimed that Algeria's belief that "security and stability in Africa are related to growth" served as the foundation for the agency's strategy.

It is noteworthy, that after "Israel" was granted observer status back in July 2021, Algeria and South Africa successfully managed to revoke "Israel's" observer status before the AU session in Adis Ababa.
It's notable that most of the sessions at the two-day 36th annual AU summit are being held behind closed doors. An Israeli delegation that snuck into the summit on Saturday under the pretext of being an "accredited observer with an entry tag" was expelled.
