After gaining independence in 1962, Algeria has been a key player in liberation movements around the world, most recently with Palestine. China was the first non-Arab country to recognize the interim government of Algeria, which in turn helped China regain its legitimate seat at the UN in 1971. China and Algeria have a profound traditional friendship, and China has provided assistance for decades, from sending its first medical team abroad to help post-war Algeria rebuild its medical and healthcare services in 1963, up to present-day colossal cooperation projects in infrastructure and mining. In this edition of Leaders Talk, CMG's Li Tongtong sat down with Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune to discuss bilateral relations and also what Algeria can learn from China's development path. Tebboune said Algeria's role in Africa is similar to China's role in the world, and praised President Xi Jinping's governance and recent initiatives. He rejects the "debt-trap diplomacy" narrative and allegations of "neocolonialism," and notes that China's partnership in Algeria comes with no strings attached.
