In a related context, Algeria’s government reinforced its dedication to combating terrorism through an integrated strategy that combines security and developmental initiatives. A parliamentary session focused on these efforts, reflecting Algeria’s model approach to counter-terrorism, which has been recognized as exemplary at both regional and international levels.
