President Murmu took the opportunity to reflect on the historical bond between India and Algeria, dating back to Algeria's liberation struggle. She recalled how India supported Algeria's fight for independence at the United Nations and other international forums. She said, "India-Algeria relations date back to the days of the Algerian liberation struggle against the colonising regime, when India advocated the cause of Algerian independence at the United Nations and other international forums."The President expressed optimism about the future of bilateral relations, stating, "The current developments are a good beginning. Our relations are a long way from reaching their potential, which can be achieved by the hard-working young people of our two nations. I am convinced of the power of the youth of this country and truly believe in their capabilities to take Algeria on a path of glorious development."As President Murmu's three nation visit of Algeria, Mauritania and Malawi comes to a close, she will depart from Malawi on October 19, leaving behind renewed hope for deeper collaboration and engagement between the four countries in the coming years.LIVE: President Droupadi Murmu’s address at the Conferment Ceremony of Honorary Doctorate in Algiers, Algeria https://t.co/yMDCSlishs
