While the Tunisians were absent from the Berlin Conference, Algiers and Tunis seem to be on the same wavelength on Libya.

Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has announced that Algiers and Tunis will organize a series of meetings with all parties and all tribes to reach elections. “ And that to arrive at the construction of the foundations of a democratic Libyan state. Provided that this proposal is accepted by those - not inside, but outside - those who control the decision in Libya. Whether it is the UN or European countries, "said President Abdelmadjid Tebboune.

This visit by Kaïs Saïed was also an opportunity for the two presidents to talk about their " common future ", to use the expression used by the Tunisian president.

Abdelmadjid Tebboune has thus announced that Algeria will support Tunisia in the face of its economic difficulties. “ We have decided to deposit $ 150 million in the Tunisian central bank as collateral. And we continue the payment facilities for the supply of gas and hydrocarbons, until Tunisia is able to pay, "said the Algerian president.

Abdelmadjid Tebboune announces that Algeria will pay $ 150 million in the Tunisian central bank as a "guarantee". The President does not finish his sentence. He says "as a guarantee for ..." # Algerie #Tunisie

The two countries also said they would continue their cooperation in the fight against terrorism. The Algerian president will travel to Tunisia after the formation of the government.
