In the context of strengthening the fraternal relations and historical ties between Algeria and Lebanon, His Excellency the Algerian Ambassador to Lebanon, Mr. Kamel Bouchama, received the former Lebanese Minister and former MP, Mr. Ghazi Aridi, on Monday afternoon, June 3, 2025, at the embassy headquarters in the Lebanese capital.
This meeting took place in an atmosphere of mutual appreciation and deep respect. His Excellency the Ambassador and Mr. Ghazi Aridi share a long-standing friendship, dating back years of communication and joint work, at pivotal moments that witnessed Ambassador Kamel Bouchama's active presence in the Lebanese arena, both in his position as a senior official in the Algerian political leadership and within the cultural missions he previously undertook, including those related to the activation of Algerian cultural and media diplomacy abroad. The meeting provided an opportunity to reminisce about some of the commonalities that brought the two sides together, particularly within the framework of political and militant activities that support liberation movements and are consistent with the established principles championed by the Algerian National Liberation Front, which has long been respected and appreciated in Lebanese and Arab political circles. The discussion also addressed developments in the regional scene in the Middle East and the critical security and political challenges facing the region.
