The meeting also highlighted the need to enhance joint parliamentary work and coordinate positions in Arab and international parliamentary forums to further the interests of both countries.

Boughali also expressed his country’s enduring gratitude for Jordan’s support of the Algerian struggle during the revolution and the fight against colonialism.
