At the beginning of the year, Aleksandr Lukashenko received a message from his Algerian counterpart, Abdelmadjid Tebboune.

Subsequently, in October, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations, Aleksandr Lukashenko sent a reciprocal letter to President Tebboune outlining prospective avenues for interstate cooperation.
