ALGIERS – Friday, 09 September 2022 (APS) – President of the Republic Abdelmadjid Tebboune sent Friday a condolence message to King Charles of England, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, in which he highlighted the role of the deceased in promoting friendly relations between Algeria and Great Britain.
“It is with great sadness and deep emotion that we have learned of the death of Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Elizabeth II. In these painful circumstances, I present to you, to the royal family and to the British people, on behalf of the Algerian people and government, my sincere condolences and assure you of our deepest feelings of compassion and solidarity.”
“It is a painful ordeal to lose one of the foundations of the United Kingdom and one of the veteran leaders who dedicated their lives to the service of their country.
