Macron and Tebboune sign partnership agreement

French President Emmanuel Macron wrapped up a three-day visit to Algeria with a raft of accords that France hopes will smooth ties with Africa’s largest country, a major gas and oil supplier to Europe and an influential regional military player.

Algerian President hailed “a very successful visit" and credited Macron’s personal efforts. The two were chummy at their final meeting Saturday, smiling, embracing and holding hands. Algerian President specifically praised their meetings on security without elaborating.
