Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune announced plans for an imminent Algerian-Libyan-Tunisian summit, continuing trilateral consultations to strengthen cooperation between the three countries. Despite efforts to include Mauritania, Algeria wants to relaunch the Maghreb Arab Union, excluding Morocco.
The Moroccan delegation participating in a preparatory meeting for the Japan-Africa summit in Tokyo thwarted an Algerian maneuver aimed at imposing the Polisario. This act violated the sovereignty of the host country, which had not invited the separatist movement.
