Foreign Policy

Algeria's foreign policy rests on non-interference, anti-imperialism, and support for national liberation movements. It champions Palestinian statehood and Western Saharan self-determination. Algiers maintains strategic ties with Russia and China while balancing relations with the EU, its primary trade partner.

Regionally, Algeria seeks leadership in the Sahel, mediating conflicts in Mali and Libya. It opposes foreign military bases in the region and favors African-led solutions to continental security challenges.

MUN Delegate Guide

As Algeria, position yourself as a principled voice of the Global South. Emphasize sovereignty, non-interference, and the right to self-determination on every agenda item -- these are your non-negotiables. Strongly support Palestinian statehood and Western Sahara's independence.

Ally with the Arab Group and the African Group. Build coalitions with other NAM members like Cuba, India, and South Africa. On energy and climate, argue that developed nations bear historical responsibility and must fund adaptation. Avoid compromising on Western Sahara -- this is Algeria's defining foreign policy issue.
