Host: Now China is Algeria's largest trading partner, and we know that there are about 100 companies that have set up factories in Algeria. Mr. Ambassador, how do you see the role of Chinese companies in Algeria's construction and development?

Alhassan Boukhalifa, Algerian Ambassador to China: There are now more than 1,000 Chinese companies operating in Algeria and establishing Chinese communities there. More than 60,000 Chinese live and work in Algeria and participate in the economic development of our country. We are very satisfied with the performance of Chinese companies and the development they bring. We also hope to attract more Chinese enterprises to come to Algeria, because they help the diversification of the economy, some Chinese companies has developed for more than 40 years, in Algeria is very understand our country's economic outlook, also know the character of algerians, used to work with them, for Chinese enterprises, Knowing Algeria's national conditions is a great advantage and contributes a lot to our economy.

Chinese Ambassador to Algeria Li Lianhe: There are a lot of Chinese companies in Algeria doing economic and trade activities. I think they have actually brought a lot of changes to Algeria. One is improved infrastructure and living standards, such as the construction of the East-West expressway project, which greatly reduced the time between Algiers and the major cities of Oran and Constantine, benefiting the economies of the provinces along the route. Another example is the social housing projects undertaken by Chinese enterprises, which have effectively improved the living conditions and quality of life of local residents. Second, Localized operations have helped Algerian society. Chinese companies have been active in localized operations, purchasing products and services from the Algerian region, increasing education and training for local personnel, paying taxes and creating local jobs.

China has remained Algeria's largest source of imports for eight years in a row, and has become its largest trading partner since 2019. Currently, more than 100 Chinese contract engineering enterprises are carrying out project cooperation in Algeria. The east-west and north-south expressways, the Algiers International Conference Center, the Grand Mosque, the Algiers International Airport and many other chinese-made products have established a good reputation and brand in the local area, and played a great role in Algeria's economic and social development. I believe that under the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, the two sides will work together to open up new ideas and models of cooperation, and our all-round cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative will be lifted to a new level.

Host: So, Mr. Ambassador, what do you think are the potential areas or highlights of our cooperation in science and technology in the future?

Host: We have a long history of medical cooperation. For more than half a century, China has also sent many medical teams to Algeria and Africa. I'm sure there are some impressive stories that you can write about the medical cooperation between China and Arab countries.

Alhassan Boukhalifa, Algerian Ambassador to China: The first Chinese medical teams sent to other countries, is in 1963 at the request of Algeria sent aid medical team, at the time, Algeria has just finished a long war of independence, the French colonists ruined a lot of things before you leave, let local health departments in a disastrous state, hospital buildings have been destroyed, the medical staff is insufficient, Algeria has appealed for help. China was the first country to respond to the call and sent an important medical team to support us, which has been in existence since 1963 and which we keep because of its significance. For 58 years, that is, nearly 60 years, China, especially Hubei province and Wuhan City, has been cooperating with China in medical treatment. That's why every time I meet Chinese friends, I tell them: Algerians have Wuhan in their hearts. The 26th medical team has just left China. I attended their departure ceremony in Wuhan. It is the strongest bond between our people today.

Li Lianhe, Chinese Ambassador to Algeria: Over the years, Chinese medical teams have treated more than 26 million outpatients, admitted and discharged more than 1.7 million patients and delivered more than 1.6 million newborns, saving the lives of many Algerians. I believe That China has made important contributions to the improvement of Africa's medical and health care, and played a very positive role in the development of Africa's medical and health care. Since the founding of new China, our China has built a number of hospitals in Africa, and provides a lot of medical equipment and drugs, China through the optimization of the project to upgrade the medical and health care support, to carry out the public health information exchanges and cooperation, the implementation of African schistosomiasis and HIV/AIDS, malaria and other CDC project cooperation, continue to send medical team and optimize dozens of aid to Africa. China has made great efforts to help African countries fight ebola, COVID-19 and other epidemics. West Africa after the ebola outbreak in 2014, China has launched an unprecedented large-scale health care activities, to the epidemic area and the surrounding 13 countries, provides four rounds, more than 120 million dollars in aid, sent a large number of medical staff and public health, clinical practice and experimental test panel, display the power China in the international arena, China's feelings. So far, China has provided more than 1 billion doses of vaccine and stock solution to more than 100 countries and international organizations, and will strive to provide 2 billion doses of vaccine to other countries throughout the year, many of which are for African countries.

Host: Ambassador Li, as The Chinese Ambassador to Algeria, how do you think china-Algeria cooperation will contribute to the prosperity of China and Africa in the future?

China has very good cooperation with Algeria. Algeria is an important country in Africa and a staunch supporter, defender and promoter of China-Africa cooperation. There is much to be done in strengthening cooperation between China and Algeria and promoting china-africa overall cooperation in the future. Algeria plays an important role in maintaining peace and stability in Africa, promoting African solutions to African problems and combating terrorism and violent extremism. China and Afghanistan share common and similar positions on these issues. Enhanced coordination and cooperation between the two countries will help maintain peace and stability in Africa and contribute to its accelerated development. Algeria is also actively planning regional connectivity of ports, roads, railways and oil and gas pipelines. China-algeria cooperation in this regard is conducive to the overall development of Africa. Both China and Arab countries support the development of the African continental Free Trade Area, and Arab countries have actively participated in the China Import Expo and China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo, which are conducive to further promoting the development of China-Africa trade. The solidarity and cooperation between China and Afghanistan in fighting the epidemic and strengthening cooperation in vaccine production will also play a positive role for the early resumption of normal life of the African people and an early victory over the epidemic for the people of the world.

Host: What is your comment on president Xi Jinping's vision of a community with a shared future?

Ayhassan BoukhalIFA, Algerian AMBASSADOR to China: President Xi Jinping's initiative contains a dream that I don't think anyone would disagree with and that everyone must work to realize. We in Algeria took the initiative in 2017 to adopt an initiative adopted by the United Nations General Assembly to establish a single day of the year: the Day of Peaceful Coexistence. Subsequently, members of the United Nations General Assembly designated May 16 as The Day of Peaceful Coexistence. While this is an initiative advocated by my country, it also contributes to our common goal of construction: a destiny for all of us, a destiny for all of us.

 

 

The activity record is as follows:

Host: This year marks the 50th anniversary of China's restoration of its lawful seat in the United Nations. We should always remember that it was Algeria and other developing countries whose proposal was adopted by an overwhelming majority in the General Assembly 50 years ago, and Algeria made important contributions to China's return to its lawful seat in the United Nations. We look back on the past development of China-Arab relations and the experience of fighting side by side between China and Arab countries. What are your feelings?

Li Lianhe, Chinese Ambassador to Algeria: Looking back on this period of history, I can sum up my feelings in four words. First, IT was Algeria and other developing countries and China's friendly countries that gave China firm support 50 years ago, fought resolutely against western countries led by the United States and finally carried China into the United Nations. This is a victory not only for China, but also for other developing countries and for justice and justice in the world. It has given unprecedented strength to world peace and development. Second, pride. Over the past 50 years, successive leaders of China and Afghanistan have spoken highly of this history and both countries are proud of the friendship that we fought side by side. Third, the two countries have carried forward our traditional friendship. On issues concerning each other's core interests, the two countries have always supported and coordinated with each other and actively promoted the in-depth development of bilateral relations. Fourth, development. On the one hand, we need to deepen cooperation, expand cooperation areas and deepen our comprehensive strategic partnership. On the other hand, we should continue to carry forward our traditional friendship, support each other, jointly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of developing countries and uphold international equity and justice.

 

 

Alhassan Boukhalifa, Algerian Ambassador to China: It is Algeria's responsibility and honor to restore China's lawful seat in the United Nations. This is justice for the Chinese people, and we are proud and honored to return this justice to China. We are happy to be able to celebrate the 50th anniversary of China's restoration of its lawful seat in the United Nations.

Moderator: Your Excellency Ambassador, China and Algeria enjoy friendly relations with a long history. As early as the 1950s, China unswervingly supported Algeria's struggle for independence. In September 1958, Algeria's provisional government was established. China was the first non-Arab country to recognize Algeria's provisional government. What do you think of the special friendship between China and Algeria?

Ambassador Ayhassan Boukhalifa: Thank you for this opportunity to meet again with the Chinese Ambassador to Algeria so that we can further discuss the friendly relations between our two countries. We have established diplomatic relations with China has a history of 63 years, our two countries established diplomatic relations in 1958, in which more than 60 years, formed a very important partnership and deep friendship, the two countries signed a series of cooperation agreements in multiple fields, China has become the biggest in Algeria economic partner, Algeria and China's cooperation in many fields, This has not only brought great development to Algeria, but also benefited China.

This partnership has expanded into many of the areas I just mentioned. In 2014, the two countries signed the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement, and in 2018, Algeria joined the Belt and Road Initiative. We have participated in a number of major cooperation projects, which have brought the relationship between the two countries closer and deepened the friendship between the two peoples. In the 63 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Algeria and China, we are very satisfied with this kind of relationship and this kind of cooperation, and we are confident that the cooperation between Algeria and China will be further deepened in the future. Our ambassadors and diplomats will continue to work closely together to further promote the development of bilateral relations for the benefit of the two peoples.

Host: The experience of fighting side by side between China and Afghanistan can be regarded as a vivid portrayal of the friendship between China and developing countries. How do you see the role of developing countries in international affairs?

Li Lianhe, Chinese Ambassador to Algeria: Developing countries account for more than 80% of the world's population, with vast territory and rich resources. The world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century. Developing countries should strengthen solidarity, take an active part in global governance, closely coordinate and strengthen cooperation in international political affairs, jointly uphold the INTERNATIONAL system with the United Nations at its core and build a community with a shared future for mankind. China will actively participate in the formulation of game rules in the international economic field, promote the reform of international economic, financial and trade systems, and strive for equal rights and space for development.

Alhassan Boukhalifa, Algerian Ambassador to China: The United Nations is the representative of multilateralism. Multilateralism is also the direction of efforts of all countries in the world, including China and Arab countries. Only by working together can we solve our common problems. The issues we face are very important, such as climate change and the epidemic we are all facing. We should face them together, not alone or selfish. People of all countries should unite. Many African countries are suffering from other diseases, and the gap between developed and less developed countries is widening. All these problems need to be addressed by us together in the United Nations.
