Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan with President of Algeria, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, in Berlin where he will attend a summit on Libya at the invitation of Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel.
On the first week of January, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu visited Algeria’s President Abdelmajid Tebboune to discuss bilateral relations and the Libyan crisis. On the same day, Tebboune invited Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to visit Algeria -- a move that signalled possible cooperation between the countries regarding Libya. last week at a summit on Libya.
