Discussions between Attaf and Aoun centered on boosting economic cooperation and reviving the joint Lebanese-Algerian business council, which aims to enhance trade and investment between the two countries. Algeria also reiterated its diplomatic backing for Lebanon at the United Nations, advocating for Lebanese interests in the Security Council and other international platforms.
The meeting underscored Algeria’s long-standing support for Lebanon, which has been grappling with economic instability, political deadlock, and security concerns. Since 2019, Lebanon has faced a financial crisis that has led to widespread inflation, currency devaluation, and public unrest.
Aoun expressed gratitude for Algeria’s ongoing assistance and Tebboune’s invitation to visit Algiers, reaffirming Lebanon’s desire to expand cooperation across multiple sectors.
