In a significant demonstration of South-South solidarity, delegations from Venezuela and Algeria convened in Algiers to inaugurate the Fifth Joint Commission, reaffirming their commitment to a multipolar world built on mutual respect, sovereignty, and social justice. This new phase of collaboration underscores the enduring bonds forged since the Bolivarian Revolution and reflects the shared aspirations of two peoples united by anti-imperialist principles.

Since the historic rise of Hugo Chávez, Venezuela has prioritized the strengthening of ties with progressive governments across Africa and the Arab world. The relationship between Caracas and Algiers, rooted in a profound sense of brotherhood and the pursuit of justice, has matured through years of joint commissions and working meetings, facilitating the signing of more than 38 cooperation agreements in areas of mutual interest. As Venezuelan Deputy Minister for Africa, Yuri Pimentel, emphasized, these ties go beyond formal diplomacy, reflecting the spirit of peoples who cherish freedom and independence.

During the Fifth Joint Commission, delegations established working groups to fine-tune agreements in key sectors:

-Ecosocialism: Joint initiatives to protect natural resources and promote sustainable development.

-Justice and Culture: Strengthening legal cooperation and cultural exchange as pillars of national identity.

-Tourism and Communications: Expanding people-to-people contact and countering imperialist narratives.

-Trade, Exports, and Pharmaceutical Production: Advancing economic sovereignty by diversifying trade and supporting local industries.

-Energy, Education, and Scientific Research: Collaborating on strategic projects to ensure energy independence and knowledge transfer.

This comprehensive agenda is a testament to the vision of both governments: to build a future where cooperation replaces domination and where peoples’ needs take precedence over corporate interests.

Part of the text reads: #News || Venezuelan Delegation Arrives in Algeria to Hold Fifth Joint Commission
This Tuesday, the delegation representing the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela arrived in Algiers, the capital of the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria, to participate in the Fifth Bilateral Joint Commission with the brother nation of North Africa.

The roots of the Venezuela-Algeria alliance date back to 1971, but it was under the leadership of Commander Hugo Chávez that these relations flourished. Chávez’s vision for a united Global South, as articulated in his calls for anti-imperialist unity and the Fifth Socialist International, continues to inspire the ongoing partnership between Caracas and Algiers. President Nicolás Maduro, building on this legacy, has reiterated Venezuela’s unwavering commitment to international law and solidarity with African and Arab nations.

Algerian officials, including Ahmed Hachemi, Director General for the Americas, have echoed this sentiment, expressing Algeria’s readiness to deepen strategic alliances and leverage the Joint Commission for the benefit of both peoples.

The Fifth Joint Commission is not merely a diplomatic exercise; it is a concrete step toward the construction of a multipolar world order that rejects imperialist interference and upholds the sovereignty of nations. As President Maduro has stated, “The brotherhood and cooperation between our peoples is mutual and marches towards a good future. We will move forward!”
