Iran Hails Algeria for Supporting Palestine

Ahmad Attaf told Iran's FM Hossein Amir-Abdollahian that the issue of Palestine is a top priority for Algeria and that the country would continue its efforts to stop the Israeli war on Gaza.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian met with his Algerian counterpart Ahmed Attaf on Friday, as a part of his diplomatic consultations in New York, and discussed the latest regional and international developments with him.

In the meeting held on the sidelines of the UNSC session for Palestine, Amir-Abdollahian appreciated Algeria for the role it played in stopping the Israeli regime's genocide in Gaza and the draft resolution it presented for the full membership of Palestine in the United Nations Security Council, which of course was vetoed by the US.

He also emphasized Iran's readiness to improve the relations between Iran and Algeria at political, economic, and cultural levels, as well as the implementation of agreements between the two countries. 

Ahmad Attaf for his part welcomed the comprehensive development of the ties between Iran and Algeria and put an emphasis on efforts to stop the war in Gaza.
