At the Third United Nations Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDC 3) held in the ‘Avaza’ National Tourist Zone, the State Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Algeria called for an assessment of progress since 2014 and stressed the relevance of the goals of the Awaza Action Programme for 2024-2034. This was reported by the IIC.

He noted the key problems hindering the development of such countries: lack of investment, weak transport infrastructure and logistical isolation. Nevertheless, the Algerian representative expressed confidence in the potential of landlocked countries, provided that there is active regional cooperation with transit countries.

According to him, joint efforts make it possible to strengthen transport and trade links, as well as mutual trust. The Algerian Foreign Affairs Ministry's Secretary of State confirmed his country's readiness to promote the implementation of the Programme's goals, which are focused on sustainable and inclusive development.
