Notably, Algeria’s successful presidency of negotiations leading to the adoption of a comprehensive international convention to combat the misuse of information and communication technologies for criminal purposes was also celebrated during this meeting.
Alongside the main session, Chaib participated in a meeting of the Arab Ministerial Committee for Al-Quds, reaffirming Algeria’s longstanding position regarding the city and its commitment to supporting international efforts aimed at preserving its identity and halting Israeli violations.
