The new ambassador of Algeria to Iran reasserted his country’s unwavering support for Palestine.

According to Tasnim news agency, in a meeting with the Iranian president, held in Tehran on Monday, Ali Arouj gave an assurance that his country will vigorously persist with its policies in support of the cause of Palestine although it has paid heavy costs for such stances.

The Algerian envoy also pledged efforts to use the existing capacities to expand the economic and trade relations with Iran as a major economic partner.

For is part, President Seyyed Ebrahim Raeisi expressed hope that the economic cooperation between Tehran and Algiers would catch up with their perfect political relations.

He also expressed satisfaction with the level of relations between Tehran and Algiers, stressed the need for the implementation of their previous agreements, and called for holding a new meeting of Joint Political Commission with the purpose of promoting the bilateral ties.
