German–Algerian police step up border security cooperation

Algeria’s Director General of National Security, Ali Badaoui, welcomed his German counterpart Dieter Romann on Thursday during an official visit aimed at strengthening bilateral policing ties.

According to a statement from the Directorate General of National Security, the visit began with one-on-one talks between the two officials before expanding to include delegations from both countries. Discussions focused on enhancing cooperation mechanisms, particularly in border management, combating irregular migration, and handling major public events.

Both sides also emphasized the importance of coordinating efforts on shared security concerns in response to evolving regional and global challenges.

The German delegation later toured the Border Police Directorate, where they were briefed on operational responsibilities, including the management of cross-border movement of people and vehicles.
