Angola and Algeria on Monday signed 11 legal instruments aimed at strengthening bilateral cooperation across key sectors including oil and gas, transport, mining, water resources, pharmaceutical industry, veterinary health, vocational training, postal services and telecommunications.
The agreements were signed in Algiers in the presence of Angolan President João Lourenço and Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, reflecting both countries’ commitment to deepening economic, technical and institutional cooperation.
The signed instruments also included memoranda of understanding between the diplomatic institutes of both countries and investment agencies aimed at strengthening business partnerships and promoting private investment.
The agreements form part of 24 instruments currently under negotiation as the two nations seek to expand cooperation in strategic sectors critical to economic and social development.
Angola and Algeria’s relations date back to the liberation struggle period, when Algeria supported Angolan nationalist movements. Diplomatic relations were formally established in 1976 following Angola’s independence in November 1975, with both countries strengthening partnerships over the years in energy, agriculture, education, defence and technical training.
The two nations further intensified bilateral engagement in April 2025 with the signing of a memorandum establishing a permanent political consultation mechanism.
