2000 Participants to Attend the 2025 ISDB Group Meetings in Algeria
Through this event, Algeria reiterates its commitment to strengthening South-South cooperation by sharing a common vision with the Islamic Development Bank Group based on the principle of 'development solidarity' to support member countries seeking to achieve more sustainable and resilient growth.
The annual meetings will be hosted at the Abdelatif Rahal International Conference Centre and organised under the high patronage of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, to explore avenues of cooperation between member states and development partners, including governments, the private sector, and civil society.
The importance of these meetings extends beyond the formal aspect. They also include specialised forums, such as the Private Sector Forum, roundtables, and knowledge-sharing sessions that will focus on key issues such as economic diversification, enhancing economic resilience, and supporting innovation as a key engine of development.
The Islamic Development Bank Group's Annual Meetings, held this year under the theme 'Economic Diversification, Enriching Lives', provide a high-level dialogue platform for enhancing development cooperation and sharing expertise.
The meetings will bring together the Islamic Development Bank's Board of Governors, comprising 57 member countries, to discuss ways to promote inclusive and sustainable development and address common economic challenges.
These meetings will provide an opportunity to strengthen partnerships and present innovative solutions to advance sustainable development in member states. They will also enable them to work together to address pressing challenges and explore new horizons that serve their societies and achieve shared development.
In addition to the dialogue sessions and high-level discussions, an area will be dedicated to exhibitions and networking opportunities, showcasing successful development initiatives and institutional achievements that reflect the progress achieved by member states.
The 2025 IsDB Group Annual Meetings will bring together over 100 speakers, 2000 participants, and more than 40 working sessions and bilateral meetings related to the world of entrepreneurship and business, and will be a unique opportunity to strengthen ties between member states, foster a spirit of cooperation and innovation, and renew a shared commitment to advancing development and prosperity for all.
It should be noted that the Islamic Development Bank is a multilateral development bank that supports the economic development and social progress of the peoples of its member countries and Muslim communities in non-member countries, following the principles of Islamic Sharia. It also works to build partnerships between the public, private, and civil society sectors.
The bank also aims to add value to the economies and societies of developing countries by enhancing skills and knowledge exchange, as well as focusing on science, technology, and innovation to find solutions to the world's greatest development challenges, by enhancing communication and financing, and by focusing on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

President Tebboune Urges Delivery of Food, Humanitarian Aid to Gaza
Minister of Foreign Trade and Export Promotion, Kamel Rezig, affirmed Tuesday from Addis Ababa, where he is participating, at the behest of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, in the United Nations Food Systems Follow-up Summit, Algeria's position calling for urgent international action to unconditional delivery of food and humanitarian aid to Gaza, where civilians are suffering from systematic starvation and collective deprivation of the right to food. In his speech at the second edition of the UNFSS+4 summit, the minister affirmed that Algeria 'calls from this platform for urgent and immediate international action aimed at ensuring the unconditional delivery of food and humanitarian aid to Gaza, and working diligently to put an end to this blatant violation of international law.' He added in the same context that 'talk about food justice is incomplete without addressing the ongoing tragedies, such as the systematic starvation and mass food deprivation taking place in the Gaza Strip, which is a stain on humanity.' Rezig regretted that 'more than two million people there, the majority of whom are children and women, are suffering from famine and starvation in flagrant violation of all humanitarian values and principles.' He explained that 'given this painful reality, Algeria joins its voice to that of the UN Secretary-General, who affirmed yesterday, in his opening remarks, the need not to use food as a weapon against peoples. He emphasised that food must remain a guaranteed human right, not a tool of pressure or collective punishment.' In the same context, he added that Algeria 'believes that achieving food security is a fundamental pillar of dignity and sovereignty' and that 'transforming food systems fairly and inclusively requires, above all, effective coordination between action, investment, and accountability.' In the same context, he considered that people 'need not just speeches, but commitments that are translated into action, fair investments directed towards vulnerable groups and marginalised areas, and clear mechanisms that ensure transparency and collective accountability.' In this regard, the Minister expressed 'Algeria's appreciation for the integrated efforts of the Food and Agriculture Organisation, the World Food Programme, and the International Fund for Agricultural Development to build more sustainable food systems resilient to climate and geopolitical crises, especially in developing regions.' He also stressed that Algeria is 'ready to share its experiences, particularly in the field of desert agriculture, to build a more just and humane shared food future.

Algerian Italian Partnership: Trade Volume Increases by 6.7% in 2025
The volume of trade between Algeria and Italy during the first quarter of 2025 increased significantly compared to the same period last year, the Italian Nova Agency said. According to the same source, trade between Rome and Algiers during the first four months of this year (2025) reached €4.79 billion, an increase of 6.7% compared to the same period of 2024. Italy is Algeria's leading trade partner in terms of total trade value, with imports and exports reaching €4.788 billion, ahead of China (€3.285 billion), Spain (€2.857 billion), and France (€2.837 billion), according to the same source. Algerian exports to Italy during the period from January 1 to April 30 reached €3.802 billion, representing a 6.5% year-on-year increase. Italian exports to Algeria during the same period reached €986 million, a 7.4% increase compared to the same period in 2024. The significant trade balance gap, which favours Algeria by approximately €2.8 billion, is primarily attributed to the energy sector. Natural gas alone represents 79.5% of Algeria's total exports to Italy, or over €3 billion, followed by crude oil with €266 million (7%), refined products with €62 million (1.6%), and minerals, fertilisers, semi-finished mineral products, and unfinished agricultural products with the remaining 10%. Nevertheless, Italian exports to Algeria are predominantly general-purpose machinery, representing €125 million (12.7% of total exports), followed by special-purpose machinery with €91 million (9.2%), motor vehicles with €60 million (6.1%), and refined petroleum products with €96 million (9.7%). Together, these four product categories represent 37.7% of total Italian exports to Algeria. Other important sectors include basic chemicals, with exports of €50 million, as well as a range of products related to factory construction and the industrial components supply chain. Machine tools and other industrial machinery represent around €42 million, while building materials and light mechanical equipment represent just under 3% of the total volume. The President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, affirmed Wednesday in Rome that his visit to Italy builds upon the exemplary relations between the two friendly countries and represents a key step toward deepening and expanding their partnership. Concerning the 5th High-Level Algerian-Italian Intergovernmental Summit, the President Tebboune noted that it served to 'implement practical measures demonstrating a deep-rooted political commitment to strengthening our longstanding relations and setting up additional pathways for cooperation in promising sectors such as water resources, sustainable agriculture, industry, transportation, and cultural and scientific diversity.' This session also served to 'underscore the reliable relationship with Italy, a friendly country, in the fields of energy and renewable energy,' President Tebboune added. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni praised Wednesday in Rome President Abdelmadjid Tebboune's 'extensive expertise,' noting that relations between Algeria and Italy 'continue to grow stronger.' Giorgia Meloni said she is 'Very satisfied with the results of the summit and the quality of the agreements reached. There is an ever-increasing interconnection between our economies, and today, around 40 agreements will be signed between our nations.' 'I am very happy to welcome the Algerian delegation, and I am very satisfied with the results of the summit and the quality of the agreements reached,' Giorgia Meloni added during the Italy-Algeria intergovernmental summit. 'We are very satisfied with the result, which is not only numerical but also reflects the many goals we are trying to achieve together. The friendship between Italy and Algeria is ancient and solid, but it has never been so special: our bilateral relations have reached a level of intensity and solidity never before seen. For Italy, Algeria is a strategic partner. The Enrico Mattei plan with Algeria is synonymous with well-being and development', she explained. The Prime Minister emphasised that energy is one of the most important areas of cooperation: 'You know that Italy aspires to become an energy supply hub in the Mediterranean, thus a gateway between the energy produced in Africa and that needed in Europe. Obviously, this is a goal that we would not be able to achieve without the collaboration, cooperation, and invaluable support of Algeria.'

Several Decisions For the Automotive Industry
President of the Republic Abdelmadjid Tebboune, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces and Minister of National Defence has affirmed the need for the Council of Ministers to exclusively authorise the allocation of funds for the manufacture and import of automobiles. He also praised and welcomed the investors of credible projects working to establish a genuine automobile industry, considering this the safest approach to breaking with the dark history of some fraudsters who operated in this sector before 2019. During his chairing of a cabinet meeting that addressed two draft laws on the prevention and fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism and the protection of natural persons in the processing of personal data, the President stressed the urgent need to include qualified Algerian subcontracting companies in various specialties in the automotive industry as a prerequisite. He ordered the opening of the field to national industrial companies in the fields of automotive, electricity and spare parts. He emphasised that the strategic goal is to lay the foundations for a truly emerging mechanical industry through the automotive industry projects underway, to contribute at least 12% to the gross domestic product. Following the Prime Minister's presentation on Monday of the government's activities over the past two weeks, as well as the ministers' contributions to the agenda, the President of the Republic issued orders, instructions, and directives. At the beginning of the meeting, after studying and discussing the draft on the prevention and combating of money laundering and the financing of terrorism, and the draft on the protection of natural persons in the processing of personal data, the Council of Ministers approved the two drafts. The council took into account the directives of the President of the Republic, who emphasized that Algeria has established strict controls and oversight mechanisms to combat corruption in all its forms, especially after making significant strides in combating all types of crime, particularly those related to financial matters, and also in the area of personal protection. Regarding firefighting measures, the President ordered heightened vigilance during the coming weeks, which will be characterised by high temperatures, and that extreme caution and care be exercised during harvesting operations. He also ordered the mobilisation of all resources and the coordination of all efforts to work proactively to prevent any potential fire outbreaks.
