The meeting also included representatives from the ministries of Industry, Agriculture and Tourism, as well as from the Algerian Investment Promotion Agency (AAPI) and the Bank of Algeria.

According to the statement, this initiative is part of the efforts to strengthen the role of economic actors from our diaspora community and support them in implementing their entrepreneurial projects in their home country.

He further commended the operators’ involvement in the country’s development process by taking advantage of the facilities provided to them and Algeria’s business and investment climate.         

In this regard, Chaib stressed the commitment of all state services at all levels to accompany investors and project holders from among our citizens living abroad to implement their investment ideas and initiatives inside the homeland, in line with the supreme directives of the country’s highest authorities and the government program aimed at boosting the role of the national community abroad in the social and economic development process of our country.
