During his productive visit to Washington, Algerian Minister of Foreign Affairs and National Community Abroad, Ahmed Attaf, represented President Abdelmadjid Tebboune as he engaged in significant dialogues with senior figures from the United States. The Foreign Ministry, as cited by Algeria Press Service, confirmed that Attaf held discussions with senior officials from the National Security Council at the White House and the US State Department.
One of the key interactions saw Attaf conferring with Brett McGurk, the Coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa at the National Security Council within the White House. Their discussions delved into an array of pressing topics, including the current developments in the Middle East, the ongoing Palestinian issue, and the crisis in Libya. Of note was the concerted United Nations efforts to establish the requisite conditions for organizing equitable and open elections, aimed at reconciling the divisions.
Further conversations took place between Attaf and Derek Chollet, the Deputy Secretary of State, who is poised to assume the role of Under-Secretary of Defense. During this exchange, the focus shifted towards the evolving situation in Niger, discussing the crisis at hand and avenues for collaborative efforts between the two nations. The aim remains firmly rooted in achieving sustainable peace for the neighboring and fraternal country of Niger.
