(MENAFN- AzerNews) Algeria and Italy agreed to build a new pipeline to carry
Algeria's gas and electricity to Europe.
At a joint press conference with visiting Italian Prime Minister
Giorgia Meloni, Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune said the
project will make Italy 'a key distributor of Algerian energies to
Europe.'
For her part, Meloni said in the light of the energy crisis in
Europe, Algeria can 'become a pioneer supplier at the African and
global levels via Italy to all Europe,' noting Algeria is Italy's
first trading partner in Africa.
She also expressed Italy's aspiration to diversify partnership
with Algeria, especially in the areas of digital infrastructure,
communications, biomedicine, industry, and renewable energies.
Earlier in the day, Algeria and Italy signed several cooperation
agreements during a ceremony co-chaired by Tebboune and Meloni.
The Italian prime minister arrived on Sunday in Algeria for a
two-day working visit.
