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.

Purifying the Import Activity of Raw Materials and Products For Sale
On June 30, 2025, Kamel Rezig, Minister of Foreign Trade and Export Promotion, discussed ways to reorganise and streamline the import of raw materials and products intended for sale during a coordination meeting that included representatives from several ministerial sectors. According to a post on the Ministry of Foreign Trade's official Meta page, the meeting is part of efforts to regulate foreign trade and ensure balance in the domestic market by combating illegal practices that affect supply and price stability. Participants in the meeting also discussed updating joint working mechanisms and improving the handling of import issues, in line with national economic policy priorities and the actual needs of the local market. Algeria's foreign trade is witnessing increasing dynamism, within the framework of the state's new vision aimed at regulating imports and supporting exports outside the hydrocarbon sector, serving the national economic balance and keeping pace with international market changes. In this context, President Abdelmadjid Tebboune announced a few weeks ago the creation of two new national bodies: one to regulate imports and monitor the conformity of imported products, and the other to promote exports and support Algerian companies in accessing foreign markets, particularly in Africa and the Arab world. These two bodies are expected to serve as an institutional pillar for regulating foreign trade and directing it toward supporting the national economy. Under the direction of higher authorities, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Export Promotion is conducting a thorough review of import mechanisms and refining the organisational processes, in coordination with the relevant ministerial sectors. This will ensure a more accurate and transparent processing of requests and reduce the unregulated practices that have long burdened the market in the past and prompted the President of the Republic to terminate the National Agency for the Promotion of Foreign Trade (ALGEX) after decades of existence. Efforts are also underway to expand the exporter base and support Algerian products that are marketable internationally, particularly in the food industry, semi-finished goods, and services. This is part of a collaborative approach that relies on effective support for stakeholders, stimulating competitiveness, and increasing the contribution of exports to the gross domestic product.
