Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune expected in France "end of September-beginning of October". First scheduled for early May 2023, it was postponed to June of the same year, with Algerians fearing that it would be spoiled by the May 1 demonstrations against the highly contested pension reform.
In December, Algiers again assured that the conditions for a visit were "not suitable", then mentioning five issues to be resolved beforehand, including those of memory, mobility, economic cooperation and French nuclear tests in the Sahara.
