Amir-Abdollahian also pointed to the fighting in Sudan, calling for achieving a lasting ceasefire through dialogue. The top Iranian diplomat urged the expansion of ties between Tehran and Algiers in various areas including energy, industry and technology. Algerian Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf, for his part, called for boosting bilateral relations.
