Spain-Algeria bilateral relations

Overview

Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares and Algerian counterpart Ahmed Attaf met at the UN General Assembly in September 2026 to discuss deepening cooperation in energy, trade, and economic partnership. The meeting served as preparation for an upcoming High-Level Meeting (RAN) scheduled to take place in Spain in October.

However, the high-level bilateral summit and the eighth session of the joint commission have been postponed. Due to political instability in Madrid and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s call for early legislative elections on November 29, 2026, officials indicated that the meeting will likely be rescheduled for after the election results are finalized. This delay ensures that the resulting government is in place before receiving the Algerian head of state.
