Photographs, videos and archives relating to the history of the Algerian diplomacy since the National Liberation War, as well as its presence around the world are being displayed on the occasion of this exhibition, which will run until 23 March. Algeria’s role in the settlement of some conflicts and disputes around the world, the principles on which the Algerian diplomacy is based, particularly the support to the just causes and the right of peoples to self-determination, non-interference in internal affairs of other states, and its struggle for more equitable international relations are being highlighted at the exhibition, held as part of the festivities marking the fiftieth anniversary of Independence. Documentaries on the history of Algerian diplomacy and its achievements will be screened on this occasion. In his opening address, Medelci underlined that 18 March has no been chosen fortuitously, as it marks the signing of Evian accords in 1962, he explained.
