The landmark accord was formalized by Algeria’s Minister of Public Works and Basic Infrastructure, Abdelkader Djellaoui, and Chad’s Minister of Infrastructure, Amir Idriss Kourda, on the second day of an Algerian delegation’s working visit to Chad. Key figures, including the Director-General of Algeria’s International Cooperation Agency for Solidarity and Development, the Algerian Ambassador to Chad, and senior executives from Cosider and the National Public Works Company (SNTP), attended the discussions.
