He added, "I hope that in the new term by relying on previous cordial relations between the two countries, every effort is made to improve the level of political, economic, trade and cultural relations between the two countries," he said.
Referring to the Algerian people's brilliant resistance to French colonialism, Raisi said, "The colonizers have never given up their colonial spirit and are always pursuing their colonial goals with a new approach, and of course, the Algerian people always maintain their spirit of resistance."
Addressing the new ambassador, the President said that the Islamic Republic of Iran attaches great importance to developing relations with Algeria, adding, "I appreciate the Algerian President's expression of interest in expanding relations with Iran."
At the same meeting, the new Ambassador of Algeria to Tehran said, "We believe that the current level of economic relations between the two countries is not equal to the excellent political relations, and I will do my best to improve the level of my country's economic and trade relations with Iran as an important economic partner."
"I want to assure you that Algeria's principled positions and policies, including in support of the Palestinian cause, for which we have paid exorbitant costs, will continue in earnest," he said.
