On April 23, 2026, Chad and Algeria signed approximately 30 bilateral agreements in Algiers, following a meeting between Chadian President Mahamat Idriss Déby and Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune. The agreements span multiple sectors including trade, security, energy, and cultural exchange.
According to official statements from both governments, the accords aim to strengthen economic ties and enhance regional stability. Specific details include cooperation in oil and gas exploration, joint military training, and visa facilitation for business travelers.
The signing ceremony took place at the Presidential Palace in Algiers, with both leaders expressing optimism about the future of bilateral relations. President Tebboune emphasized Algeria's commitment to supporting Chad's development, while President Déby highlighted the importance of security cooperation in the Sahel region.
This marks a significant step in Chad-Algeria relations, which have historically focused on border security and counterterrorism. The new agreements are expected to boost trade volume between the two nations, which currently stands at around $50 million annually.
