A delegation of six German automotive industry companies will visit Algiers from June 28 to July 3, 2026, to explore opportunities in the Algerian market. Mandated by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, the visit is organized by the Algerian-German Chamber of Commerce AHK Algeria in partnership with enviacon international. The official conference, titled "Automotive Industry in Algeria: Industrial Integration and Strategic Perspectives," will open on June 29. The visit aims to foster concrete partnerships between Algerian and German stakeholders, focusing on industrialization, local integration, and collaboration in the automotive sector. Key areas of discussion include subcontracting, local integration rates, and the transfer of expertise. Algerian regulations require car manufacturers to achieve a 40% local integration rate within five years, creating opportunities for foreign companies specializing in automotive components, equipment, and accessories. The German companies possess established experience in Tier-1 and Tier-2 partnerships, engineering and quality certification know-how transfer, and sequenced logistics. Algeria's competitive energy resources are a significant draw for German manufacturing industries seeking international bases, a strategy supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy and the German Market Development Programme. This visit is part of a structured economic cooperation strategy between the two

The Real Madrid Foundation, through its official Educational Football Program Algeria, is establishing its presence in Algeria with the launch of its first Summer Clinics. These clinics will begin on June 21 in Algiers, marking the Foundation's first official activity in the country. This launch was confirmed by Roberto Carlos, an ambassador for the Real Madrid Foundation. The Summer Clinics are football training sessions open to young people of various age groups, held at ESHRA in Algiers. The program mirrors the Foundation's global approach, focusing on technical progression, game-based learning, and instilling values such as respect, discipline, effort, teamwork, and self-improvement. An Spanish coach, directly sent by the Foundation, will oversee the training to ensure adherence to its methods and pedagogical rules. Emilio Butrague帽o, another ambassador for the Real Madrid Foundation, is confirmed to visit during the Summer Clinics, offering participants an opportunity to meet him and discuss the Foundation's future development in Algeria. Each participant will receive an official, globally recognized diploma from the Real Madrid Foundation upon completion. Registrations are currently open, with limited spots available per age group.

Algeria's Ministry of Health announced the imminent promulgation of implementing texts for organ harvesting from brain-dead donors. This development, announced by Minister of Health Mohamed Seddik A茂t Messaoudene during a study day on "hospital coordination of multi-organ harvesting" organized by the National Agency for Transplants, aims to redefine the management of organ failure and establish a societal project. The new framework, anticipated since the 2018 health law reform, seeks to secure and streamline the work of medical teams by providing a protective legal framework and ensuring ethical standards for deceased donors' families and recipients. The Minister emphasized that these texts will offer "an integrated framework guaranteeing total transparency and protecting the rights of donors, their families, and practitioners." He also highlighted the urgent need for a responsive hospital coordination network, stressing that rapid information transmission and quick structural response are crucial for the success of this program. Algeria has shown strong performance in living donor transplants, particularly for kidney, liver, and bone marrow, positioning its health system among the regional leaders. While the 2018 health law introduced advanced tools, including "crossed donation," healthcare professionals agree that public adherence remains low. Participants noted that regulation is only one step, and the main challenge lies in communication and awareness campaigns. A collect
Algeria and Uzbekistan have signed a visa exemption agreement for diplomatic passport holders. The agreement was formalized in Algiers during the official visit of Uzbek Foreign Minister Bakhtiyor Saidov and Algerian Minister of State and Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf. This measure is exclusively for officials and diplomats on state missions between the two countries and does not apply to the general public. The agreement, based on reciprocity, aims to facilitate professional travel between Algiers and Tashkent for official missions, governmental summits, and institutional meetings. Algerian citizens with ordinary passports will still need to follow standard visa procedures for travel to Uzbekistan for tourism, study, or business. The visit also highlighted the ambition of both nations to strengthen their exchanges, with the two ministers agreeing to launch new cooperation mechanisms, including a joint commission and a business council. Algerian diplomatic passports are issued to Ministry of Foreign Affairs personnel, their immediate families, defense and military attach茅s, and their families during missions. They are also granted to high-ranking state officials during their terms, such as the President of the Republic, government members, heads of the National People's Army, and presidents of major constitutional institutions. Additionally, certain individuals, including former heads of state, government, and presidents of constitutional institutions, as well as widows of for
