Algiers, July 29th—Liu Jianchao, Minister of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee, met here today with Mustapha Haidaoui, President of the Supreme Youth Council and Minister of Youth of Algeria.
Liu said, China commends Algeria for the development achievements made under the framework of Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune's vision for a "New Algeria," and China is willing to deepen cooperation with Algeria through mechanisms such as the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation and the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum. The world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century. The successful practice of Chinese modernization demonstrates that modernization is not the same as Westernization, and that there are diverse paths to modernization. China is willing to work with Algeria to uphold independence and self-reliance, pursue development paths that suit respective national conditions, and advance modernization progress. China, Algeria, and other developing countries should strengthen solidarity and cooperation to safeguard the common interests of the Global South countries and promote a more just and equitable international order.
Liu noted that young people are the future and the hope of the country. The CPC has always attached great importance to youth work. General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly encouraged young Chinese people to carry forward the spirit of struggle and contribute their strength to Chinese modernization in the new era. The CPC is willing to work with the Supreme Youth Council of Algeria to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state on the China-Algeria comprehensive strategic partnership, intensify exchanges and cooperation between young politicians, scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs, strengthen mutual learning of experience in state governance and administration, and strengthen strategic coordination in politics, economy, science and technology, so that the younger generations of the two countries can take up the baton of the traditional China-Algeria friendship.
Haidaoui stated that the friendship between Algeria and China is unbreakable, and China is a strategic partner of Algeria. President Tebboune views youth as the foundation for realizing the vision of the "New Algeria." The aim of establishing the Supreme Youth Council is to empower young people, expand their participation in the country's political, economic, cultural, and social life, carry forward the revolutionary legacy, and contribute to national development. The Supreme Youth Council has benefited greatly from the exchanges with the CPC and looks forward to strengthening exchanges and cooperation in politics, economy, and international exchanges, carrying forward the revolutionary friendship between Algeria and China, creating more positive conditions for all-round cooperation between the two countries, and helping build a better multipolar world.
On the same day, Liu also visited the Tipaza Provincial Party headquarters of the National Liberation Front of Algeria. He said, the CPC is ready to carry forward the revolutionary friendship with the National Liberation Front, deepen exchanges of experience in grassroots party building, and empower respective parties to lead respective countries towards better development. Rasheed, secretary of the Tipaza provincial committee of the National Liberation Front, introduced the National Liberation Front's efforts to strengthen party organizations at all levels to better meet new challenges in governing.
