Algerian president, Abdelmajid Tebboune, appointed Tuesday ambassador Said Moussi, who was recalled from his post in Spain to Paris.
This appointment comes a day after the publication by the Spanish media of the “fall” of Algiers on the Iberian gas market.
Algeria had suspended a two-decades-long cooperation agreement with Spain, after Spain shifted its Western Sahara position in favor of Morocco.
Algeria has decided to proceed with “the immediate suspension of the Treaty of friendship, good neighborliness, and cooperation which it concluded on October 8, 2002 with the Kingdom of Spain and which governed until here the development of relations between the two countries,” said the Algerian presidency in a statement.
It blamed Spain for failing to adhere to its ” legal, moral and political obligations”, as a former colonizing, and current regional power.
The cooperation treaty provided for the strengthening of political dialogue between the two countries in the fields of economy, finance, education, and defense.
Spain said it regretted the announcement of the Algerian presidency.
