5 + 5 Dialogue: The warm handshake of Bourita and Messahel

Nasser Bourita arrived this morning in Algiers to attend the 14th edition of the 5 + 5 Dialogue, commonly known as the Western Mediterranean Forum.

The Foreign Minister denied the information, published by Algerian local media reporting that he would boycott the meeting.

Upon his arrival at Houari Boumediene airport, Bourita was greeted by his Algerian counterpart, Abdelkader Messahel. The two men even hugged each other in front of the cameras.

Here again, media from the eastern neighboring country have gone astray. They argued that the Moroccan, choosing to arrive Sunday morning at the meeting, wanted to avoid contact with Messahel.
