Algeria pledged on Tuesday to campaign for an African request that ensures a higher representation of the continent in the UN Security Council by granting it five, instead of three non-permanent seats.
Algeria’s pledges came as the North African country began its two-year mandate as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.
On the occasion, Algerian state media published a report saying this year will be devoted to fulfilling the strong commitment repeatedly expressed by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, to bring the voice of Africa to this central UN body..
Meanwhile, the flag of Sierra Leone was seen Tuesday in the streets of the Algerian capital, announcing the possible visit of its president, Julius Maada Wonie Bio.
The two countries assumed their roles as non-permanent members of the UN Security Council, representing the African continent. The Algerian presidency has not announced the visit.
