The two sides agreed to continue efforts to achieve an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, address the humanitarian crisis in the enclave, and ensure aid delivery to its population.
Attaf invited Cameron to pay an official visit to Algeria “to deepen consultations and expand the areas of cooperation and partnership between the two countries,” the statement added.
Since the beginning of its non-permanent membership in the UN Security Council in January, Algeria has been working to pass a draft resolution toward a ceasefire in Gaza.
