The chief of staff of Algeria's military has arrived in Russia and is due to meet Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, the TASS news agency cited the Algerian embassy in Russia as saying on Tuesday.

It did not say what they would discuss.

Russia is interested in broadening military cooperation with non-Western countries as it faces a Ukrainian counter-offensive in the 17-month-old war.

Shoigu last week visited North Korea on what he said was a trip to strengthen defense ties, but the United States said was likely aimed at securing weapons supplies.

Jordan's Prime Minister Bisher Khasawneh submitted his resignation on Sunday less than week after parliamentary election that saw some gains for the Islamist opposition.

The new composition of the 138-member parliament retains a pro-government majority, but a more vocal Islamist-led opposition could challenge IMF-led free-market reforms and foreign policy.

Jordanians went to the polls Tuesday in a parliamentary election overshadowed by the war in Gaza and concerns over a slump in tourism, a sector vital to the kingdom's economy.

It was the first vote since a 2022 reform increased the number of seats in the house, reserving more for women and lowering the minimum age for candidates.
