“Algeria is the key of stability in the Maghreb”
El Khabar, 14 novembre 2007
The German do not want to remain mere consumers of the Algerian energy. In the German President opinion, who is in a 4-day visit to the country, Algeria, with its position, human resources, and natural reserves is the stability key in the Maghreb region.
The German President made clear in his meeting with El-Khabar, El-Watan and Le Quotidien d’Oran journalists, that “Algeria has tremendous potentialities”. It lacks however, “an efficient strategy likely to allow it initiating projects in line with its potentials and its youth expectations.” According to Horst Kohler Algeria has indeed met difficulties in overcoming its past and start anew. Algeria is an important country for Germany, which explains the high level visits paid by German officials to Algeria. “Algeria is of a paramount importance to Germany with its position, human resources, and its natural reserves is the stability key in the Maghreb region” President Kohler underscored.
Algeria importance lies in the fact that Germany is willing to diversify its sources in order to secure its energy supplies. He underlined a mutual “trust” prevailing since the 90s between Algeria and Germany.
