Summary:

On 26 November 2025, Algeria and Egypt signed 18 agreements, memorandums, and cooperation programs across multiple sectors at the conclusion of the ninth session of the Algerian-Egyptian High Joint Committee in Cairo. The signing ceremony took place in the presence of Algerian Prime Minister Sifi Ghrieb and his Egyptian counterpart, Mostafa Madbouly. 

The agreements cover interior affairs, finance, energy, industry, trade, housing, higher education, scientific research, vocational training, youth, sports, culture, and social solidarity. Additional memoranda address accreditation, agricultural research, archiving, consumer protection, and local development, including a dedicated agreement on energy transition and renewable energy. Executive programs were also signed on youth, sports, culture, vocational training, social affairs, and public administration cooperation. 

During the talks, Ghrieb emphasized the importance of strengthened Algerian-Egyptian coordination to protect shared interests in the global gas market, highlighting energy as a central strategic issue in international relations. 

Outlook: 

The agreements signal Algeria’s broader vision of enhancing regional cooperation with neighboring countries such as Egypt. Algiers has continued to show signs of a cautious opening to external partnerships and engagements as regional and global issues have driven re-ordering of long-standing diplomatic assumptions.  

By leveraging the expertise of both countries in energy, industry, and trade, Algeria can strengthen its strategic position in key sectors while benefiting from technology transfer, industrial modernization, and workforce development. 

The collaboration also highlights the potential to accelerate economic diversification, expand renewable energy capacity, and improve competitiveness in regional and global markets. The ultimate impact will depend on Algeria’s ability to implement projects effectively, align regulations, and capitalize on joint ventures to reinforce long-term economic resilience and regional influence.
