Algiers, July 28th—Liu Jianchao, Minister of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee, met here today with Abdelkrim Benmebarek, Secretary-General of the National Liberation Front (FLN) of Algeria. 

Liu said, for a long time, China and Algeria have always stood firmly together in respective national liberation and development. In 2023, President Xi Jinping and President Abdelmadjid Tebboune held fruitful meetings and reached important consensus on further developing the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Algeria. Currently, practical cooperation in various fields between the two countries has achieved fruitful results, and the scope and scale of cooperation continue to expand. China supports the development path chosen by Algeria for its comprehensive economic revitalization. Seventy years ago, China and Algeria jointly promoted the formation of the Bandung spirit of solidarity, friendship and cooperation. The current global governance system is characterized by imbalance and disorder, with rising isolationism and neocolonialism, posing severe challenges to the development of the Global South countries. China is willing to work with Algeria to inherit and carry forward the Bandung spirit, enhance communication and coordination on international and regional issues, promote solidarity and cooperation among the Global South countries, and jointly address global challenges. 

Liu said, the CPC and the FLN share similar ideas and have similar experiences in the struggle. Under the new circumstances, the CPC is willing to implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state through inter-party channels, further enhance the level of cooperation between the two Parties, increase political mutual trust and mutual understanding, and be fellow companions sharing the same ideals; strengthen political dialogue, deepen cooperation in areas such as party building and cadre training, and serve the cause of the two Parties; promote exchanges and practical cooperation in various fields such as social organizations, media, think tanks and localities through the "political party +" platform, and promote greater development of China-Algeria relations. 

Benmebarek said, the friendship between Algeria and China is close and solid, and has been tested over time. The FLN and the CPC share similar views on many issues and have a common vision for maintaining international fairness and justice, which stems from our joint struggle in the national liberation. The FLN values the brotherly friendship with the CPC and hopes to work with the CPC to keep pace with the times, comprehensively plan cooperation, and enhance personnel exchanges and ideological exchanges. Currently, the geopolitical landscape is undergoing profound changes, and the FLN hopes to enhance multilateral coordination with the CPC, jointly promote multilateralism, and build a better multi-polar world.
